Summary
| Description |
The steps in the analysis of mass spectra of nucleic acids are: background subtraction, peak detection, and quantitation. The mass and intensity of the peaks are calculated. The mass is used to identify the nucleic acid from a short list of possibilities determined by the molecular biology performed during the experiment. The intensity is taken as a measure of nucleic acid quantity. The identity and the quantity of the nucleic acids in the sample are used to determine nucleic acid properties including genotype and mutations. David Fenyo |
