Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends (RACE)

Main Article Content
Abstract
Rapid amplification of cDNA ends is a polymerase chain reaction-based technique which was developed to facilitate the cloning of full-length cDNA 5’ and 3’ ends after a partial cDNA sequence has been obtained by other methods. While RACE can yield complete sequences of cDNA ends in only a few days, the RACE procedure frequently results in the exclusive amplification of truncated cDNA ends. Many investigators have suggested modifications to the RACE protocols to improve the effect of the technique.
