X Abstract

In the present study, we analyzed the kinetics of the PCR-suppression effect (PS-effect) and firstly demonstrate that lower annealing temperature enhances PS-effect. Furthermore, we controlled the average size of complex PCR products over a wide range, and simultaneously amplified targets from 0.25 to 10 kb by regulating the degree of suppression in a single-primer PCR. In addition, we describe an improved template-switching full-length cDNA synthesis method that greatly reduces truncated cDNA. This study provides a general guide for the design of PS-effect related PCR and is useful for representative or long-transcript enriched cDNA library construction, especially when only a small amount of total RNA is available.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
