The '''selector technique''' is a method to [[polymerase chain reaction|amplify]] and [[Multiplexing|multiplex]] genomic DNA.

== Process ==

The selector technique allows multiplex amplification of arbitrary sets of genomic sequences. Genomic [[DNA]] is digested with [[restriction enzymes]], circularized by [[hybridisation (molecular biology)|hybridisation]] to selectors and subsequenctsubsequently attached to a [[Plasmid|vector]] sequence by [[DNA ligase|ligation]]. The procedure results in circular [[DNA]] [[molecules]] with an included general [[Primer (molecular biology)|primer]] pair motif that can be used for amplification by [[Polymerase chain reaction|PCR]] or [[Rolling circle replication|RCA]].

====The selectorSelector construct====

A selector consists of two oligonucleotides, one '''Vector''' oligonucletideoligonucleotide and one '''Selector probe'''. Together they form one '''Selector''' with target specific ends on each side of a general primer motif.

====Selection mechanisms====

* (I)# A selector probe hybridizes with both ends of the selected target.

* (II)# A selector probe hybridizes with one end to the 3’ end of the target and the other end to an internal sequence of the target. The protruding 5' end is cleaved off using [[Taq polymerase]].
