Abstract

'MegaPlex PCR' is a robust technology for highly multiplexed amplification of specific DNA sequences. It uses target-specific pairs of PCR primers that are physically separated by surface immobilization. Initial surface-based amplification cycles are then coupled to efficient solution-phase PCR using one common primer pair. We demonstrate this method by co-amplifying and genotyping 75 unselected human single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci.
