Jay's debut album on Nu-Groove, Stay Awhile, rocked the Contemporary Jazz Charts for over a year. Soto returns in 2009 with his sophomore release, Mesmerized, produced by Darren Rahn and Grammy winner Michael Broening.
A primer is a short nucleic acid sequence that provides a starting point for DNA synthesis. In living organisms, primers are short strands of RNA. A primer must be synthesized by an enzyme called primase, which is a type of RNA polymerase, before DNA replication can occur.
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technology in molecular biology used to amplify a single copy or a few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. Miniprimer PCR: uses a thermostable polymerase (S-Tbr) that can extend from short primers (smalligos) as short as 9 or 10 nucleotides. 2  This method permits PCR targeting to smaller primer binding regions, and is used to amplify conserved DNA sequences, such as the 16S (or eukaryotic 18S) rRNA gene.
