Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for nucleic acid amplification, which enables clusters of amplified nucleic acid fragments to be sequenced by a sequencer to be formed at a high density and improves throughput of nucleic acid sequence analysis by amplifying the number of nucleic acids in the cluster to 10,000 molecules or more; and a method for nucleic acid amplification for enhancing read accuracy, which achieves a high cluster density and increases the number of the amplified fragments in the cluster by the steps of previously forming a pattern of primer DNAs on a base material and fixing bulky template DNA molecules synthesized from DNA samples thereon to induce amplification reaction.
