Abstract
This work compares the methods of mutation detection via denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (dHPLC) and a microchip-based heteroduplex analysis (HA) method. The mutations analyzed were 185delAG and 5382insC in BRCA1 and 6174delT in BRCA2 with, as additional examples, 188del11 and 5396 + 1G --> A in BRCA1. Our HA method is based upon the use of a replaceable, highly denaturing sieving matrix that has dynamic coating capabilities, rendering our method relatively insensitive to contamination. We have found significant advantages in the microchip analysis in terms of reagent consumption, ease of use, versatility, simplicity of the protocol, the lack of constraints upon sample preparation or content, and the lack of parameters that need be adjusted. Although HA methods have a lower sensitivity than that of dHPLC, the electropherograms of the present HA method appear to provide more information and may allow mutations within the same amplicon to be distinguished. Although the dHPLC method has a remarkably high sensitivity, with this sensitivity there come constraints that may prevent it, in its present form, from being used in some applications, particularly those involving higher levels of integration. The advantages of the present HA method, along with recent developments in microchip-based single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection and high-throughput arrays, suggest that microchip-based systems could provide compact and integrated platforms capable of large-scale genotyping or mutational screening.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
