When we placed an ENA residue into primers at the 3 ' end, or the n-1, n-2, or n-3 position, Which included a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) site at the 3 ' end, only primers containing the ENA residue at the n-2 position were read by Tay DNA polymerase for amplification. The use of the ENA primers avoided the generation of undesired short products, which are thought to be derived from primer-dimers. A greater discrimination of the SNP site by these primers containing the ENA residue was observed compared with that of the corresponding unmodified DNA primers that are often used for allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR). This improvement is probably due to the difficulty of incorporating a nucleotide into the mismatched ENA primer by Taq DNA polymerase in the modified primer-template duplex. These results demonstrate that ENA primer-based AS-PCR would enable a rapid and reliable technique for SNP genotyping. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
