Erratum: Decoding the literature on genetic variation

Abstract

On page 191, information about a mutant was omitted. The last sentence of the third paragraph should read as follows: Among the mutant proteins screened, the asCP A148G mutant with random substitutions F7L, Y26C, T30I, A142V (designated KFP1, GenBank accession no. AY233273) demonstrated the most remarkable properties, which make it suitable as a photoactivated fluorescent label. On page 192, last full paragraph, the irradiation time for the irreversible KFP1 activation in mitochondria was listed incorrect. The sentence should read: Brief irradiation (fast mode, 20 seconds) with 30% power green laser light induced irreversible kindling of KFP1 in mitochondria within the irradiated field.

Fast Detection of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) by Primer Elongation with Monitoring of Supercritical‐Angle Fluorescence

“…These variations play an important role in the outbreak of hereditary diseases such as Alzheimer's6 or multiple sclerosis7 and are of particular interest in pharmaceutics due to their influence on drug response 8. 9 For these reasons, new genotyping methods are required that combine high throughput and sensitivity to identify SNPs 10. Existing methods are either based on probe–target hybridisation11, 12 or enzymatic reactions such as cleavage,13, 14 digestion,15 minisequencing16, 17 and primer elongation 18.…”
