Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: PCR has become a routine technique in DNA genotyping for diagnostic or pharmacogenetics purposes. Promoter regions of genes are in the main focus for detecting novel regulatory single nucleotide polymorphisms (rSNPs). However, due to very high GC content PCR setup procedures can be very time consuming and not infrequently amplification of the regions of interest fail. METHODS: We developed a novel...
