Novel degenerate PCR method for whole genome amplification applied to Peru Margin (ODP Leg 201) subsurface samples

A degenerate PCR-based method of whole-genome amplification, designed to work fluidly with 454 sequencing technology, was developed and tested for use on deep marine subsurface DNA samples. The method, which we have called Random Amplification Metagenomic PCR (RAMP), involves the use of specific pr...
