DNA Isolation

DNA isolation protocols can be fast and straightforward or complex and time-consuming depending on the type and quality of DNA required for further processing. For example, plasmid DNA extraction is a bit more complicated than genomic DNA extraction because of the need for an appropriate lysis method to separate plasmid DNA from gDNA during isolation. However, for specific applications, such as long-range DNA sequencing that require a good yield of high- quality DNA samples, we need to follow...

Summary

False-positive results in Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) are often caused by single-primer amplification. This study introduces "single-primer PCR correction" to improve PCR precision and success rates by eliminating nonspecific amplification.
