Abstract
A method of sequential consensus region-directed amplification comprising, (a) amplifying a first segment of at least one target DNA in a DNA mixture, using a first and second oligonucleotide primer, each of which hybridizes to the target DNA, and a nucleic acid polymerase, under conditions in which DNA amplification is achieved, resulting in a first segment of double-stranded DNA; (b) amplifying a second segment of the first segment of double-stranded DNA, using a third and fourth oligonucleotide primer, each of which hybridizes to the first DNA segment, and a nucleic acid polymerase, under conditions in which DNA amplification is achieved, resulting in a second segment of double-stranded DNA.
