Multiplex allele-specific PCR with optimized locked nucleic acid primers.
The ease and advantages of allelespecific PCR (AS-PCR) for SNP genotyping, along with the difficulty of assay specificity with certain mismatched DNA primers, have been described in prior studies (1–3). More recently, the use of real-time PCR detection formats has been described for one or both alleles of AS-PCR (4–6). These detection enhancement methods do not overcome the inherent difficultie...
متن کاملLocked nucleic acids in PCR primers increase sensitivity and performance.
The incorporation of locked nucleic acids (LNAs) into oligonucleotide primers has been shown to increase template binding strength and specificity for DNA amplification. Real-time PCR and DNA sequencing have been shown to be significantly enhanced by the use of LNAs. Theoretically, increasing primers' binding strength may also increase the sensitivity of conventional PCR, reducing minimum templ...
متن کاملLocked Nucleic Acid Pentamers as Universal PCR Primers for Genomic DNA Amplification
BACKGROUND Multiplexing technologies, which allow for simultaneous detection of multiple nucleic acid sequences in a single reaction, can save a lot of time, cost and labor compared to traditional single reaction detection methods. However, the multiplexing method currently used requires precise handiwork and many complicated steps, making a new, simpler technique desirable. Oligonucleotides co...
متن کاملPosition-dependent effects of locked nucleic acid (LNA) on DNA sequencing and PCR primers
Genomes are becoming heavily annotated with important features. Analysis of these features often employs oligonucleotides that hybridize at defined locations. When the defined location lies in a poor sequence context, traditional design strategies may fail. Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) can enhance oligonucleotide affinity and specificity. Though LNA has been used in many applications, formal desig...
متن کاملSelecting Degenerate Multiplex PCR Primers
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) Genotyping is an important molecular genetics technique in the early stages of producing results that will be useful in the medical field. One of the proposed methods for performing SNP Genotyping requires amplifying regions of DNA surrounding a large number of SNP loci. In order to automate a portion of this method and make the use of SNP Genotyping more wi...
