K-tuple frequency in the human genome and polymerase chain reaction.

Abstract:

:The frequency occurrences of K-tuple (overlapping sequences of defined length, K) were computed from the known human genome sequences. The significance of these frequencies for the whole human genome was tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A computer programs based on these results was written to choose primers to amplify DNA target sequences, either of human genes or of human infectious agents. The software also gave nested primer sequences which were used to synthesize non radioactive probes by PCR. We applied these two methods, primer selection and non radioactive probes, to easily and quickly set up very efficient PCR sets to work in the human genome context.

  • On the importance of the primer activation signal for initiation of tRNA(lys3)-primed reverse transcription of the HIV-1 RNA genome.

    abstract::Initiation of reverse transcription is a complex and regulated process in all retroviruses. Several base pairing interactions have been proposed to occur between the HIV-1 RNA genome and the specific tRNA(lys3) primer. The tRNA primer can form up to 21 bp with the primer binding site (PBS), and an additional 8 bp inte...
