57. A method of simultaneously amplifying a plurality of polynucleotide sequences of interest in a single reaction comprising:
-
a) selecting two or more polynucleotide sequences of interest for amplification; b) hybridizing to the polynucleotide sequences of interest a primer set, wherein each primer set contains at least one uracil nucleobase; and c) simultaneously amplifying the polynucleotide sequences of interest by polymerase chain reaction in a single reaction to generate a plurality of amplicons. - View Dependent Claims (58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 76)
