    The method combines a standard technique of mutagenasis with a chemical mutagen such as Ethylmethanesulfonate (EMS) with a sensitive DNA screening-technique that identifies single base mutations (also called point mutations) in a target gene. EcoTILLING 1 is a method that uses TILLING techniques to look for natural mutations in individuals, usually for population genetics analysis. DEcoTILLING2 is a modification of TILLING and EcoTILLING which uses an inexpensive method to identify fragments. The TILLING method relies on the formation of heteroduplexes that are formed when multiple alleles (which could be from a heterozygote, or a pool of multiple homozygotes and heterozygotes) are amplified in a PCR, heated, and then slowly cooled. A “bubble” forms at the mismatch of the two DNA strands (the induced mutation in TILLING or the natural mutation or SNP in EcoTILLING), which is then cleaved by single stranded nucleases. The products are then separated by size on several different platforms (see below).

    Hope that helps.............
