The impact of replication errors on the reliability of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) data is studied theoretically. Practical applications of our results to RFLP analysis and oligonucleotide probing confirm that for practical purposes replication errors can be neglected if a large number of starting templates (e.g. 100,000) is being used. For single locus analysis in single cells, however, the probability of false diagnosis due to such errors is of the order of 1 percent.
从理论上研究了复制错误对聚合酶链反应(PCR)数据可靠性的影响。我们的结果在限制性片段长度多态性(RFLP)分析和寡核苷酸探测中的实际应用证实,出于实际目的,如果使用大量起始模板(例如100,000个),复制错误可以忽略不计。然而,对于单细胞中的单基因座分析,由于此类错误导致误诊的概率约为1%。
