DNA structural variants can be analyzed by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), a water‐oil microfluidics and fluorescence technology to quantify target nucleic acids with extreme precision and sensitivity. Traditional ddPCR uses expensive fluorescent oligonucleotide probes that require extensive optimization. Here we describe a variation of ddPCR using a DNA‐binding dye (EvaGreen), whose properties allow target products to be effectively quantified at a significantly lower cost. © 2018 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
