General description
GenomePlex® Complete Whole Genome Amplification Kit utilizes a proprietary technology based on random fragmentation of genomic DNA and conversion of the resulting small fragments to PCR-amplifiable library molecules flanked by universal priming sites. WGA is achieved by PCR amplification of the library molecules using universal oligonucleotide primers. It contains everything required for whole genome amplification including an optimized enzyme, WGA DNA Polymerase. It can be used in several applications and is suitable for use with purified genomic DNA from a variety of sources including blood cards, whole blood, buccal swabs, soil, plant, and serum. It allows the researcher to generate a representative, ~500-fold amplification of genomic DNA.
Application
GenomePlex® Complete Whole Genome Amplification (WGA) Kit has been used in the amplification of DNA. This kit is also suitable for use with downstream applications including:
- microarray analysis
- SNP analysis
- STR analysis
- DNA archiving
Features and Benefits
- Higher yield from minimal template: Amplification of nanogram amounts of genomic DNA to microgram yields (around 10 μg) in less than about three hoursrs
- Nanograms of samples can be preserved at –20 °C for future use
- Choose from a variety of DNA sources: whole blood, buccal swab, blood card, plant, soil, & formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (FFPE)
- Whole-genome amplification (WGA) DNA polymerase increases the amplification accuracy
- Whole-genome representation with no detectable allele bias
- Compatible with many downstream applications such as TaqMan® assays, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis, comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis
Other Notes
The sequences of the universal primers provided in this kit are considered proprietary.
