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.

Long - range PCR is a method that allows for the amplification of much larger
fragments of DNA than is possible with traditional PCR —
fragments larger than 40
kilobases have been reported in long PCR, versus fewer than 10
kilobases for traditional PCR.
The wt allele yields a 6.5 -
kilobase (kb)
fragment, whereas both targeted Xpd † XP and Xpd † XPCS alleles yield a 5.1 - kb
fragment.
Gene - level expression values were represented by
fragments per
kilobase exon per million reads mapped (FPKM) and a consensus FPKM was determined for each gene based on its representation across biological replicates.
To compare the expression values across genes and conditions, raw count data was transformed into
fragments per
kilobase of exon per million
fragments (FPKM) with the formula:
First, they sheared DNA into
fragments that were a few
kilobases long, ligated adapters to the ends of each
fragment, and did a round of amplification.
