Abstract:
A novel approach for the amplification of cDNA ends is described. It requires only minimal amounts of material, a simple cDNA synthesis reaction and a single PCR reaction to amplify the desired 5'- or 3'-ends of a certain cDNA of interest. It combines the so called CapFinder approach with solid phase cDNA synthesis, thus almost eliminating background problems usually associated with 5'-RACE protocols. This approach could be used to generate complete 5'-ends of numerous cDNAs using only one cDNA synthesis reaction. In combination with LA PCR, several kilobases of unknown 5'-ends could be amplified. It is easy to perform, quick, inexpensive and reliable, which should enable it to replace most currently used 5'-RACE protocols.
