In vitro direct repeats-mediated deletion during PCR amplification.

abstract：:Association studies using genome scans to identify quantitative trait loci for multifactorial disorders, with anything approaching reasonable power, have been compromised by the need for a very dense array of genetic markers and large numbers of affected individuals. These requirements impose enormous burdens on the g...
