LIGASE CHAIN REACTION

Specialty Definition: LIGASE CHAIN REACTION

DomainDefinition

Health

A DNA amplification technique based upon the ligation of oligonucleotide probes. The probes are designed to exactly match two adjacent sequences of a specific target DNA. The chain reaction is repeated in three steps in the presence of excess probe: (1) heat denaturation of double-stranded DNA, (2) annealing of probes to target DNA, and (3) joining of the probes by thermostable DNA ligase. After the reaction is repeated for 20-30 cycles the production of ligated probe is measured. (references)
