Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ GenomePlex Complete Whole Genome Amplification Kit utilizes a proprietary technology based on random fragmentation of genomic DNA and conversion of the resulting small fragments to PCR-amplifiable library molecules flanked by universal priming sites. WGA is achieved by PCR amplification of the library molecules using universal oligonucleotide primers._x000D_ Application_x000D_ GenomePlex® Complete Whole Genome Amplification (WGA) Kit has been used in the amplification of DNA._x000D_ Features and Benefits_x000D_ • Starting material: 10 ng gDNA or damaged DNA or 1 μl blood or cheek swab_x000D_ • Expected yield: 5 - 10 μg_x000D_ • Time required: ~3 hours (14 cycles in thermocycler)_x000D_ • WGA DNA polymerase offers increased amplification accuracy resulting in more accurate downstream applications_x000D_ • Complete representation of the entire genome with minimal allele bias_x000D_ • No amplicon in the negative control reactions_x000D_ • DNA sources: whole blood, buccal swab, blood card, plant, soil, & formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE)_x000D_ Other Notes_x000D_ The sequences of the universal primers provided in this kit are considered proprietary._x000D_ Legal Information_x000D_ Use of this product is covered by one or more of the following US patents and corresponding patent claims outside the US: 5,789,224, 5,618,711, 6,127,155 and claims outside the US corresponding to expired US Patent No. 5,079,352.
