Abstract
- Formamide has been widely used in urea/polyacrylamide gel to solve the compression problems that are occasionally found during the DNA sequencing of G/C rich regions. In this study, however, 10% formamide was added in annealing solution in stead of adding to the gel. The compressions were unfolded efficiently with a more rapid annealing reaction on ice in the presence of 10% formamide.
