PCR methods can be expensive, time-consuming and tedious. The ligase detection reaction (LDR) can be used as an alternative to PCR. In this method, homologous DNA sequences, which may differ by a single nucleotide, can be distinguished. These DNA sequences provide the templates to which oligonucleotides probes anneal. 1, record 2, English, - ligase%20detection%20reaction
