Whole genome amplification methods are used to generate the large amounts of DNA that
are required for genetic testing. Preparation of genomic DNA from clinical samples is a …

A version of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), termed degenerate oligonucleotide-
primed PCR (DOP-PCR), which employs oligonucleotides of partially degenerate sequence …

We have developed an in vitro method for amplifying a large fraction of the DNA sequences
present in a single haploid cell by repeated primer extensions using a mixture of 15-base …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the morphology and structure of polytene
chromosomes. The chapter focuses on the gene mapping and building of cytogenetic maps …

The present invention regards a variety of methods and compositions for whole genome
amplification. In a particular aspect of the present invention, there is a method of amplifying a …

Multiple displacement amplification (MDA) is a recently described method of whole-genome
amplification (WGA) that has proven efficient in the amplification of small amounts of DNA …

Genetic analysis of limiting quantities of genomic DNA play an important role in DNA
forensics, paleoarcheology, genetic disease diagnosis, genetic linkage analysis, and …

Structural genetic alterations in cancer often involve gene loss or gene amplification. With
the advent of microarray approaches for the analysis of the genome, as exemplified by array …

Summary The Polycomb group (PC-G) proteins are responsible for keeping developmental
regulators, like homeotic genes, stably and inheritably repressed during Drosophila …

The scarcity of genomic DNA can be a limiting factor in some fields of genetic research. One
of the methods developed to overcome this difficulty is whole genome amplification (WGA) …
