The assembly PCR method for constructing long DNA molecules. (a) In the first PCR step a pool of oligodeoxynucleotides anneal and are (b) elongated to produce a full-length DNA molecule. In addition to the full-length product, a host of shorter molecules also results. (c) In the second PCR step the desired full-length molecule is selectively amplified from the mixture using primers specific for the desired full-length product.
