Random priming PCR strategy to amplify and clone trace amounts of DNA

Here we report a new methodology to study trace amounts of DNA of unknown sequence using a two-step PCR strategy to amplify and clone target DNA. The first PCR is carried out with a partial random primer comprised of a specific 21-nucleotide 5′ sequence, a random heptamer, and a 3′ TGGC clamp. The s...
