Abstract

The present invention relates to primers for PCR amplification comprising abasic parts within the primer sequences and a method for PCR amplification using the same. More precisely, the present invention relates to primers capable of amplifying different templates and having abasic parts complementary to mutated site or polymorphic site of template DNA and a method for PCR amplification comprising the steps of mixing the composition for PCR amplification comprising the primers with nucleic acid template; and performing PCR with the mixture. The primers for PCR amplification of the present invention contain abasic parts not having specific coding information in their nucleotide sequences, so that they can amplify different templates having mutated sites at the same time.
