RESUMO

We have developed a simple, PCR-based protocol, random primed/anchored-PCR (RPA-PCR), that allows the selective amplification and efficient cloning of segments that are adjacent to any known sequence. We demonstrate that RPA-PCR can be used to prepare a nested set of evenly spaced deletions suitable for DNA sequencing. However, it should also be possible to use this technique for a number of other purposes: generating deletions for the analysis of eukaryotic promoters, extending cDNA clones in the 5' direction, cloning the insertion sites of retroviral proviruses and transposons, and analyzing intron/exon boundaries.
