Random Mutagenesis by Whole-Plasmid PCR Amplification
Random mutagenesis has become a powerful means of studying the effects of a large number of permutations of a particular DNA sequence. As a prime example, libraries of randomized cDNA clones, when translated into their corresponding proteins, can be ...

An advanced and efficient asymmetric PCR method for microarray applications
The sensitivity of a PCR based biochip assay relies on the efficiency of PCR amplicons in binding to the microarray spots. The essential factor determining the sensitivity is the amount of single stranded (ss) amplicons available for biochip ...

Improved PCR Amplification of Broad Spectrum GC DNA Templates. [PDF]
Many applications in molecular biology can benefit from improved PCR amplification of DNA segments containing a wide range of GC content. Conventional PCR amplification of DNA sequences with regions of GC less than 30%, or higher than 70%, is complex due

Optimized protocol for DNA extraction from ancient skeletal remains using Chelex-100 [PDF]
PCR-based analysis of skeletonized human remains is a common aspect in both forensic human identification as well as Ancient DNA research. In this, both areas not merely utilize very similar methodology, but also share the same problems regarding quantity and quality of recovered DNA and presence of inhibitory substances in samples from excavated ...

MegaPlex PCR: a strategy for multiplex amplification [PDF]
'MegaPlex PCR' is a robust technology for highly multiplexed amplification of specific DNA sequences. It uses target-specific pairs of PCR primers that are physically separated by surface immobilization. Initial surface-based amplification cycles are then coupled to efficient solution-phase PCR using one common primer pair.

Dimethyl sulfoxide improves sensitivity and specificity of RT-PCR and qRT-PCR amplification of low-expressed transgenes [PDF]
The expression of transgenes in a host plant may be low for a number of reasons. Both low expression and poor specificity of amplification were encountered during analysis of the expression of the Arabidopsis cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (AtCKX1 ...

Cloning, expression, purification and characterization of Leishmania tropica PDI-2 protein
In Leishmania species, protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) is an essential enzyme that catalyzes thiol-disulfide interchange. The present work describes the isolation, cloning, sequencing and expression of the pdI-2 gene.

Gene-specific monitoring of T7-based RNA amplification by real-time quantitative PCR
T7-based RNA amplification is applied when there is insufficient RNA. The overall extent of amplification can be measured spectrophotometrically (i.e., quantifying RNA yields), but this measurement does not provide information about the RNA amplification

Detection of short DNA sequences with DNA nanopores [PDF]
Several studies suggest strong correlation between different types of cancer and the relative concentration of short circulating RNA sequences (miRNA). Because of short length and low concentration, miRNA detection is not easy. Standard methods such as RT-PCR require both the standard PCR amplification step and a preliminary additional step of reverse ...
