The Study of Viral RNA Diversity in Bird Samples Using De Novo Designed Multiplex Genus-Specific Primer Panels 2018-08-12 .txt text/plain 4838 222 49 The existing approaches for the design of oligonucleotides for targeted enrichment are usually involved in the development of primers for the PCR-based detection of particular viral species or genera, but not for families or higher taxonomic orders. We have subsequently designed a genus-specific oligonucleotide panel for targeted enrichment of viral nucleic acids in biological material and demonstrated the possibility of its application for virus detection in bird samples. We have applied this approach to design genus-specific primer pairs for targeted enrichment of cDNA from zoonotic RNA viruses and have evaluated it using several samples from birds. The control samples cDNA was obtained by reverse transcription reaction performed on 5 L of the extracted RNA using the Reverta-L RT kit (AmpliSens; total volume of the reaction mixture is 20 L); after that 5 L of the reaction mixture containing cDNAs was further used for evaluation of the ability of the primer pair to amplify the targeted region of viruses, both in single and in multiplex PCR format. ./cache/cord-329162-6w8qcv1c.txt ./txt/cord-329162-6w8qcv1c.txt
