PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)
Primers short oligonucleotides short oligonucleotides (18 – 30 nucleotides) forward primer x reverse primer forward primer x reverse primer are complementary to the sequences are complementary to the sequences at the 3´end of corresponding strand, delimited the target DNA region that will be amplified
Annealing temperature T m = [4 x (G+C) + 2 x (A+T)] T m = [4 x (G+C) + 2 x (A+T)] T anneal. = [4 x (G+C) + 2 x (A+T) -5] T anneal. = [4 x (G+C) + 2 x (A+T) -5] 5´ GAGACTCAAGAGAACCTA 3´ T anneal. = ?
Number of copies of wanted DNA region A = 2 n n = number of cycles
