OER Description:

A resource describing ASO hybridisation which is a common tool in molecular biology, genetic testing or forensic research.

In the human disease sickle cell, there is a genetic mutation in the blood protein beta-haemoglobin. ASO can be used to detect the mutation in a DNA sample and therefore is used to identify the presence of the sickle cell mutation.
