Abstract

A new polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method is described for the isolation of clones of interest from a library when only part of a sequence is available. In actuality, this occurs with many genomes that have been partially sequenced using a random strategy. The method presented here, discriminating clusters by PCR (DCbyPCR), is a nonradioactive and improved alternative to colony hybridization.
