Figure 1. The SeCore® strategy begins with the amplification of the target locus by cycling an amplification mix, FastStart™ Taq DNA Polymerase and sample genomic DNA. The resulting product is treated with ExoSAP-IT™, prior to sequencing, to degrade the unincorporated primers and hydrolyze the free nucleotides. The nucleotide chronology, and resulting HLA subtype is determined by multicolor, fluorescence-based, BigDye® Terminator sequencing. The final reactions are purified by an ethanol precipitation prior to loading. Denatured samples are loaded and results detected on an automated sequencing instrument.
