Abstract
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a key procedure in modern molecular biology but may be adversely affected by many factors and it is difficult to optimize reaction conditions; a technically simple and effective method to set up an optimal PCRβamplified system is required. Uniform design (UD) is a method that enables many factors to be investigated. For example, the dhaT gene from Klebsiella pneumoniae was amplified and the optimization of the amplified parameters including concentration of Mg^2+^, annealing temperature, annealing time and number of cycles based on UD was reported. After only 12 experimental trials, an optimal PCRβamplified result was obtained, demonstrating the value of UD for optimization of PCR. Copyright Β© 2004 Society of Chemical Industry

A DNA fragment longer than 10 kb can be amplified by the long and accurate polymerase chain reaction (LA-PCR) method. We demonstrate here applications of this technique in molecular biological studies of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We have shown that DNA fragments amplified by LA-PCR can be directly u
