ePCR
- ePCR represents the results of using the
e-PCR
program to find matches between the STSs in
UniSTS
and the reference human nucleotide sequence. These results come from
the National Center for Biotechnology Information, which
describes e-PCR thusly:
- Use the Electronic PCR feature to test a DNA sequence for the presence
of sequence tagged sites. e-PCR looks for STSs in DNA sequences by
searching for subsequences that closely match the PCR primers and have
the correct order, orientation, and spacing that they could plausibly
prime the amplification of a PCR product of the correct molecular
weight (Schuler, Genome Research 7:541-50, 1997).
