GENOME-WIDE CAPTURE OF INTER-TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENT SEGMENTS FOR GENOMIC SEQUENCE ANALYSIS OF HUMAN DNA SAMPLES WITH MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION

摘要

A method for identifying one or more genomic variations in human genomic DNA, comprising employment of Alu, MIR and SVA sequence-based PCR primers and performing an inter-transposable-element (ITE) polymerase chain reaction on the assay mixture to produce an array of amplicons comprising the ITE genomic segments. Also provided the use of the method for identifying one or more genomic variants associated with a trait or a disease.
