Abstract
A method for amplifying specific nucleic acid fragments having an undefined nucleotide sequence wherein said nucleic acid fragments are present in a mixture of nucleic acids. Blunt ended linkers with known nucleotide sequences are used in the method to isolate and distinguish the specific undefined nucleic acid fragments from the rest of the nucleic acid. Primers which hybridize with the known linker are then used as part of a polymerase chain reaction procedure to amplify the specific nucleic acid fragment which includes the undefined nucleotide sequence.
