To determine the effect of the 3' hairpin on genotyping accuracy, probes with and without 3' hairpins were designed for both the Factor V Leiden and Hemochromatosis H63D mutations (Table 1).
2) To eliminate the 3' hairpin without changing the length of the OCP, the hairpins in the H63D probes were removed by changing the sequence of the OCP such that the length of the probes was conserved but the base pairing in the hairpin was disrupted.
However, in one test, around 5% of randomly selected C. elegans genomic sequences were found to have the capacity to fold into plausible miRNA precursor hairpins [ 11 ] . This suggests that computational prediction of miRNAs based on presumed structure alone would have an unacceptably high false-positive rate.
Examination of these structures shows that they are principally composed of large α-helical hairpins that form coiled coil structures or stretches with successive shorter α-helices.
Real time ERCA genotyping reactions were performed using FVL and H63D probes with and without 3' hairpins (Figures 6, 7, 8and 9).
