Based on detecting the 421 trinucleotide. - Leading Academic Discipline Project of Shanghai Municipal Education Commission [J50301]; Major State Basic Research (973) Program [2005CB523102]; NIH [AI44063]. - Supported by Leading Academic Discipline Project of Shanghai Municipal Education Commission, Project Number:J50301 (Xin Jiang, Shanghai University of T.C.M) and Major State Basic Research (973) Program (No. 2005CB523102).
