Modified linker-PCR primers facilitate complete sequencing of DGGE DNA fragments.

Abstract:

:Modified linker-PCR primers were developed to enable complete sequencing of a DGGE band in one reaction. Commonly used bacterial and archaeal 16S rRNA gene PCR-DGGE primers were modified to contain linkers and sequencing primers. This protocol does not involve additional stages, and improves retrieval of sequence from DGGE bands by approximately 23%.
