Chemical cleavage of mismatch (CCM), also known as chemical mismatch cleavage (CMC) or the HOT (hydroxylamine/osmium tetroxide) chemical method, has been used for detection of sequence variability with many systems since it was first described. Recently, adaptation to fluorescence‐based detection systems has fundamentally changed both the execution and analysis of CCM. This review will outline major advances in the methodology of CCM, from the advent of PCR through fluorescent analysis, and includes applications and modifications of CCM.
