Primer initiation and extension by T7 DNA primase [PDF]
T7 DNA primase is composed of a catalytic RNA polymerase domain (RPD) and a zinc-binding domain (ZBD) connected by an unstructured linker. The two domains are required to initiate the synthesis of the diribonucleotide pppAC and its extension into a functional primer pppACCC (de novo synthesis), as well as for the extension of exogenous AC ...

PCR primers for metazoan nuclear 18S and 28S ribosomal DNA sequences. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Metagenetic analyses, which amplify and sequence target marker DNA regions from environmental samples, are increasingly employed to assess the biodiversity of communities of small organisms. Using this approach, our understanding of microbial

Polymerase chain reactions with alphoid-repeat primers in combination with Alu or LINEs primers, generate chromosome-specific DNA fragments [PDF]
Y alphoid primers in combination with Alu and LINEs primers generated new DNA fragments in polymerase chain reactions (PCR) on DNA from a Y-only somatic cell hybrid but not from X-only, 3-only, or 21-only hybrids.

Microflora ecology of the chicken intestine using 16S ribosomal DNA primers.
The microflora in the gastrointestinal tract of broiler chickens influences digestion, health, and wellbeing. Analysis of chicken gut microflora has been mainly by culture-based methods.

Primer Extension Analysis of HBV DNA with Strand-Specific Primers
We performed primer extension assay to determine which steps of HBV DNA synthesis (i.e., minus- and plus-strand DNA synthesis and circularization of RC DNA) are affected by phosphoacceptor site mutations in C protein. In these experiments, we used several specific oligonucleotide primers.

Transduction of DNA information through water and electromagnetic waves [PDF]
The experimental conditions by which electromagnetic signals (EMS) of low frequency can be emitted by diluted aqueous solutions of some bacterial and viral DNAs are described. That the recorded EMS and nanostructures induced in water carry the DNA information (sequence) is shown by retrieval of that same DNA by classical PCR amplification using the TAQ

A noninvasive molecular approach: exploiting species-locus-specific PCR primers in defeating numts and DNA cross-contamination of cercopithecidae [PDF]
The lack of a standardized, noninvasive molecular approach to studying genetic aspects of primates has made it hard for primatologists to decode the evolutionary history of these species.

Amplifying DNA with arbitrary oligonucleotide primers. [PDF]
G e n e t i c molecular markers are DNA segments that behave as landmarks for genome analysis. These segments usually represent variant or polymorphic sites that can be identified using general strategies such as molecular hybridization or enzymatic amplification of DNA.
