Abstract excerpt
Occurrence of chimeric sequences and related artifacts in PCR cloning procedures gives us risks of over-estimation of haplotypes or alleles. Recombination among haplotypes occurs through template switching during PCR cycles or through random repair of mismatch sites on heteroduplex DNA by the host cell. To eliminate the chimeric cloning artifacts, we tested two alternative protocols using T7 endonuclease I...
