Abstract

Provided are a PCR primer pair and an application thereof. The PCR primer pair comprises a first primer and a second primer, wherein the first primer comprises a first specific sequence, a first random sequence, and a first universal sequence, the first specific sequence is located at the 3′ end of the first primer, the first random sequence is located at the 5′ end of the first primer, and the first universal sequence is located between the first specific sequence and the first random sequence; the second primer comprises a second specific sequence, a second random sequence, and a second universal sequence, the second specific sequence is located at the 3′ end of the second primer, the second random sequence is located at the 5′ end of the second primer, and the second universal sequence is located between the second specific sequence and the second random sequence, wherein the first random sequence and the second random sequence are inversely complementary.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A PCR primer pair, comprising a first primer and a second primer, wherein
the first primer comprises a first specific sequence, a first random sequence and a first universal sequence, and
the second primer comprises a second specific sequence, a second random sequence and a second universal sequence, wherein
the first specific sequence is located at the 3′ end of the first primer, the first random sequence is located at the 5′ end of the first primer, and the first universal sequence is located between the first specific sequence and the first random sequence,
the second specific sequence is located at the 3′ end of the second primer, the second random sequence is located at the 5′ end of the second primer, and the second universal sequence is located between the second specific sequence and the second random sequence,
wherein the first specific sequence and the second specific sequence are respectively an upstream primer and a downstream primer for a target sequence, and
the first random sequence and the second random sequence are reversely complementary.

2. The PCR primer pair according to claim 1 , wherein the first specific sequence and the second specific sequence each have a TM value of 55-65° C., and
the first primer and the second primer each have a TM value of 65-75° C.

3. The PCR primer pair according to claim 1 , wherein
the first random sequence and the second random sequence each have a length of 15-45 bp, and
the first specific sequence and the second specific sequence each have a length of 15-30 bp.

4. The PCR primer pair according to claim 1 , wherein the 1-5 th bases from each of the 5′ end and the 3′ end of the first primer are respectively subjected to thio-modification, and
the 1-5 th bases from each of the 5′ end and the 3′ end of the second primer are respectively subjected to thio-modification.

5. The PCR primer pair according to claim 4 , wherein the thio-modification is selected from phosphorothioate modification, methyl-sulfate modification and peptide nucleic acid modification.

6. The PCR primer pair according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first primer and the second primer is subjected to phosphorylation modification at the 5′ end.

7. The PCR primer pair according to claim 1 , wherein the first primer further comprises a first molecular tag, and the first molecular tag is located between the first universal sequence and the first specific sequence, and
the second primer further comprises a second molecular tag, and the second molecular tag is located between the second universal sequence and the second specific sequence.

8. The PCR primer pair according to claim 7 , wherein the first molecular tag and the second molecular tag have different sequences.

9. The PCR primer pair according to claim 7 , wherein the first molecular tag and the second molecular tag each have a sequence in a length of 5-10 bp.

10. The PCR primer pair according to claim 1 , wherein the first universal sequence and the second universal sequence each have a length of 15-20 bp.
