项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a powerful technique used to amplify a DNA sequence of interest. Continual advancements to the technique have included development of real-time PCR technologies and reverse-transcription PCR. With the advent of these and other technologies that allow for accurate quantitation of a sequence of interest, there are continual needs for improvements to the accuracy of the technique. Herein we propose the further development of a novel Hot Start PCR strategy which may improve the specificity in PCR by reducing the number of undesired amplification products. Although numerous Hot Start PCR technologies have been developed, none of these utilize chemically-modified synthetic deoxynucleoside 5'- triphosphates (dNTPs). The present proposal aims to further develop modified dNTPs as a general solution for Hot Start activation in PCR. It is anticipated that this approach to Hot Start PCR should be amenable to existing PCR technologies, allowing for use with existing PCR systems, by simple substitution of the unmodified dNTP mix for the corresponding modified dNTP mix. In addition, we propose to further explore the utility of this technology in applications, such as single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) detection and microarray analysis. Overall, we propose the development of a novel approach to Hot Start PCR that will offer an added level of specificity to nucleic acid amplification, with the flexibility for use in a number of PCR-based platforms.

描述（由申请人提供）：聚合酶链式反应 (PCR) 是一种用于扩增感兴趣的 DNA 序列的强大技术。该技术的不断进步包括实时 PCR 技术和反转录 PCR 的开发。随着这些和其他允许对感兴趣的序列进行精确定量的技术的出现，不断需要改进该技术的准确性。在此，我们建议进一步开发一种新的热启动 PCR 策略，该策略可以通过减少不需要的扩增产物的数量来提高 PCR 的特异性。尽管已经开发了多种热启动 PCR 技术，但这些技术均未利用化学修饰的合成脱氧核苷 5'-三磷酸 (dNTP)。本提案旨在进一步开发修饰的 dNTP，作为 PCR 中热启动激活的通用解决方案。预计这种热启动 PCR 方法应该适合现有的 PCR 技术，通过简单地用未修饰的 dNTP 混合物替换相应的修饰的 dNTP 混合物来允许与现有的 PCR 系统一起使用。此外，我们建议进一步探索该技术在单核苷酸多态性（SNP）检测和微阵列分析等应用中的实用性。总体而言，我们建议开发一种新的热启动 PCR 方法，该方法将为核酸扩增提供更高水平的特异性，并可灵活地用于许多基于 PCR 的平台。
