This technique called Photo-chemical Analysis of Structural Transitions (PhAST) promotes DNA pyrimidine dimer formation. The location and intensities of this photo-chemistry are affected by external agents that reshape the DNA structure. Thus, the technique provides unique information on local structure at the DNA nucleotide level. We reveal photochemical products using a simple primer extension technique coupled to capillary electrophoresis (now being extended to NextGen sequencing!).
