| 摘要 |
The present invention provides methods of designing PCR primers that allow the efficient and simultaneous amplification of a large number of different desired DNA fragments in a single multiplex PCR and minimize the formation of nonspecific extensions of undesired DNA fragments. The present invention allows a multiplex PCRto use at least 50 pairs of primers and produce at least 50 DNA fragments of interest. The present invention significantly broadens the application of multiplex PCR in the identification of multiple genes related to multifactorial diseases, the genome-scale detection of genetic alterations, the studies in large-scale pharmacogenetic reactions, the genotyping genetic polymorphism in a large population, the gene expression profiling in various samples, and high throughput genotyping technologies. |
