PCR amplification and detection of GC rich sequences in DNA is a challenge due to formation secondary structures which resist denaturation, thereby stalling Taq polymerases as well affecting primer annealing. Presently, high fidelity polymerase used for amplifying long GC-rich fragments, while dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has also been suggested an additive Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) mix avoi...

Invasive aspergillosis (1 is a life-threatening condition in immunocompromised patients. An early diagnosis is of great importance because early treatment may resolve this potentially fatal infection. Recently, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used successfully in detecting specific DNA of several pathogen. In this study, nested PCR was used to detect DNA specific for A!.pergiflus s...
