RESUMO
We describe a modification of a polymerase chain reaction method called 'targeted gene walking' that can be used for the amplification of unknown DNA sequences adjacent to a short stretch of known sequence by using the combination of a single, targeted sequence specific PCR primer with a second, nonspecific 'walking' primer. This technique can replace conventional cloning and screening methods with a single step PCR protocol to greatly expedite the isolation of sequences either upstream or downstream from a known sequence. A number of potential applications are discussed, including its utility as an alternative to cloning and screening for new genes or cDNAs, as a method for searching for polymorphic sites, restriction endonuclease or regulatory regions, and its adaptation to rapidly sequence DNA of lengthy unknown regions that are contiguous to known genes.
