S. Lankiewicz et al., ENHANCED RAGE METHOD USING SPECIFIC ENRICHMENT BY BIOTINYLATED OLIGONUCLEOTIDES BOUND TO STREPTAVIDIN COATED MAGNETIC PARTICLES, Nucleic acids research, 25(10), 1997, pp. 2037-2038
RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends) is commonly used for identific
ation and isolation of 3' and 5' termini of cDNA. We developed an impr
ovement of the RACE-method that allows the enrichment of wanted fragme
nts. The important new feature is the purification of the amplified pr
oducts by biotinylated oligonucleotides that hybridize internally. Hyb
rids are isolated by streptavidin coated magnetic particles.
