The authors of this study have developed a universal primer set across flowering plants that amplifies 3 - 15 kilobase fragments, which can then easily be sequenced using recently developed next - generation sequencing technologies. (sciencedaily.com)
Bellen claims the new methodology will work for DNA segments up to 150 kilobases in length — the fruit fly genome is made up of an estimated 14,000 genes, only 10 of which, according to Bellen, are too large to be manipulated with P [acman]. (scientificamerican.com)
However, we here show that Pseudomonas koreensis P19E3 harbors multiple, near identical repeat pairs up to 70 kilobase pairs in length. (nanoporetech.com)
