Abstract

The present invention provides primer that allow simultaneous amplification of multiple DNA target sequences present in a DNA sample. Further provided are methods for detecting multiple defined target DNA sequences in a DNA sample. Methods for high-throughput genetic screening are also provided. In yet another aspect, the present invention provides single-stranded oligonucleotide DNA primers for amplification of a target DNA sequence in a multiplex polymerase chain reaction.
