Abstract
The use of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) and time-of-flight mass spectrometry for analysis and detection of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymers and polymerase chain reaction products was discussed. The measurement of DNA polymers in a specific size range was found to be necessary for fine-structure genome analysis. The use of the tailored cleanup techniques provided improved analysis of DNA by providing better sensitivity and resolution at the higher molecular weights of proteins.
