Abstract
A modification of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique is described. The method allows the amplification of regions of DNA flanking a single region of known sequence, in contrast to standard PCR which requires two regions of known sequence at opposite ends of the fragment to be amplified. Various advantages of the new method are described.
