How are short tandem repeats cut out?
Short tandem repeats (STRs) are cut out using a technique called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In PCR, specific primers are designed to bind to the regions flanking the STR of interest. The DNA containing the STR is then heated to separate the strands, and the primers anneal to their complementary sequences. DNA polymerase then extends the primers, replicating the DNA and including the STR region. This process is repeated for multiple cycles, resulting in the amplification and isolation of the specific DNA fragment containing the STR.
