FIG. 1.
Schematic of IRS-PCR analysis. (Step 1) Double digestion using EagI and HhaI. (Step 2) Adapter ligation. (Step 3) Primary denaturation followed by EagI primer binding. (Step 4) If the selective primer extension is a cytosine, then Taq polymerase reads through and initial extension occurs. If X ≠ C, extension does not occur. (Step 5) Initial extension produces complementary binding sequence for oligonucleotide AH1 (from HhaI adapter).
