Now that the New Years holidays are over and most labs are back into the swing of things, it is time to remind you of your New Years resolution to introduce new, cutting edge tools into your lab in 2012. One such tool that you should definitley become more familiar with is High Resolution Melt Analysis (HRM). HRM is used for detecting small variations in DNA sequences between varying populations and is often used in SNP analysis, genotyping and methylation analysis.

In order to assist you, we have prepared an in-depth video tutorial on HRM. In the video you will learn about HRM and its practical applications, the difference between qPCR and HRM, the pros and cons of various dyes used in SNP analysis, how to differentiate between class 1,2,3 and 4 type SNPs and critical factors for good experimental design.
