NCIt synonyms : Polymorphism, Single-Stranded Conformational; SSCP;
NCIt definition : A Single-Stranded Conformational Polymorphism consists of nucleotide sequence variation
in the same region of DNA between individuals within a species, or between alleles
in an individual, that cause partially denatured DNA fragments to take on different
conformations as a result of their nucleotide sequences differences. These conformation
differences can be detected through various gel-separation techniques.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A type of mutation scanning; the identification of abnormally-migrating
single-stranded DNA segments on gel electrophoresis.;
