The ligation product, which is labelled at 3'end, is captured on a solid streptavidin-coated matrix and signal is detected by autoradiography.
However, when there is a mismatch due to the presence of an SNP, labelled and biotinylated oligonucleotides are unable to ligate,
so that when captured by streptavidin, they carry no signal.
