Title:
AMPLIFICATION OF DISTANT NUCLEIC ACID TARGETS USING ENGINEERED PRIMERS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/038049
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention is a method of amplifying nucleic acids by synthesizing an engineered amplicon containing the sequence of interest, but omitting intervening sequences present in the template molecule. The method utilizes an "amplicon bridge" incorporated into the amplification primers. The length and content of the desired amplicon can be chosen by the operator and can contain unique regions for probe binding.
