Fig. 2. Quantitative PCR products after RE digestion to reveal true products (522 bp) and<br />

mutated competitor products (404 and 118 bp). Lanes 1 through 8 contain 15 copies of template<br />

and decreasing amounts of mutated competitor (10,000, 2000, 1000, 200, 100, 20, 10, and<br />

1 copy, respectively). The reaction was based on the amplification of a 522-bp product and a<br />

mutated competitor that was identical except for the creation of a SmaI site 118 bp into the<br />

fragment (see Note 7).<br />
