Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for detecting multiple DNA sequences simultaneously. The method involves amplification of multiple sequences simultaneously by annealing a plurality of paired oligonucleotide primers to single stranded DNA. One member of each pair is complementary to the sense strand of a sequences and the other member is complementary to a different segment of the anti-sense strand of the same sequence. The amplification occurs by alternately annealing and extending the primers. The invention also includes oligonucleotide primer sequences helpful in detecting genetic diseases and/or exogenous DNA sequences.
