Single-Stranded Conformational Polymorphism Definition

A Single-Stranded Conformational Polymorphism consists of nucleotide sequence variation in the same region of DNA between individuals within a species, or between alleles in an individual, that cause partially denatured DNA fragments to take on different conformations as a result of their nucleotide sequences differences. These conformation differences can be detected through various gel-separation techniques.
