Abstract excerpt
By increasing the PCR amplification regime to 34 cycles, we have demonstrated that it is possible routinely to analyse <100 pg DNA. The success rate was not improved (without impairing quality) by increasing cycle number further. Compared to amplification of 1 ng DNA at 28 cycles, it was shown that increased imbalance of heterozygotes occurred, along with an increase in the size (peak area) of stutters. The...
