Evaluating putative chimeric sequences from PCR-amplified products.

BACKGROUND PCR amplification of extremely homologous genes from complicated DNA mixtures is understood to generate a major proportion of chimeric sequences. Ribosomal RNA genes are used for microbial species detection and identification in pure environments, and present assessments of microbial range are based mostly on these sequences. Thus, chimeric sequences may result in the invention […]
