Abstract: PCR amplification of nucleic acids is a fundamental technique used in many molecular biology laboratories. Despite its wide use, certain GC-rich regions of DNA, such as mycobacterial disease targets, still remain a challenge for amplification. Sequences high in GC content are associated with the formation of secondary structure, which prevents adequate strand separation and DNA polymerase amplification. As a consequence, mispriming is prominent, complicating specific product formation.Summary: PCR amplification of nucleic acids is a fundamental technique used in many molecular biology laboratories.
