  • Application of a PCR sequencing method, based on DNA barcoding technique and DNA incomplete shearing strategy, in HLA genotyping
    Patent number: 9957564
    Abstract: The invention provides a PCR sequencing method, wherein the combination of primer indexes, DNA incomplete shearing strategy and the second generation sequencing technique (Paired-End sequencing technique) can make the length of PCR products that can be sequenced by a sequencer longer than the maximum sequencing length of the sequencer while making full use of the characteristics of the second generation sequencing technique such as high throughput and low cost, thereby greatly broadening its applicable scope. In addition, the present invention also provides primer indexes for the PCR sequencing method and the use of the method in genotyping, particularly in HLA analysis, and also provides the PCR primers used, particularly the PCR primers for HLA-A, B, HLA-C and HLA-DQB1 gene.
