Betaine improves the PCR amplification of GC-rich DNA sequences.

W Henke1, K Herdel, K Jung, D Schnorr, S A Loening.   

Abstract

Betaine improves the co-amplification of the two alternatively spliced variants of the prostate-specific membrane antigen mRNA as well as the amplification of the coding cDNA region of c-jun. It is suggested that betaine improves the amplification of these genes by reducing the formation of secondary structure caused by GC-rich regions and, therefore, may be generally applicable to ameliorate the amplification of GC-rich DNA sequences.
