Abstract excerpt

The minicircle molecules present in the kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) network constitute a particularly useful molecular tool because they are a multicopy target and present a variable region that differs among minicircle classes in the same network. Using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and a set of primers directed outwardly from the minicircle conserved region, it is possible to prepare molecular probes...
