DNA Walking SpeedUp™ PreMix Kit
Several PCR techniques have been developed to obtain unknown sequences located adjacent to a known sequence without having to construct a DNA library or screen clones. These PCR methods include PCR (IPCR), ligation-mediated PCR (LM-PCR) and randomly primed PCR (RP-PCR). Although these methods have proven to be effective, they are still hampered by laborious steps such as restriction enzyme digestion, adapter ligation and purification procedures. Moreover, arbitrary primers in RP-PCR often result in spurious products because of non-specific annealing. These drawbacks to existing genomic walking methods can be overcome with Annealing Control Primer (ACP™) technology, which enhances the specificity of short oligomers. ACP™ technology makes DNA walking experiments much simpler and more cost-effective.
