Why might you wish to do a “low stringency” annealing temperature in a PCR reaction?
Solution
A \"low stringency\" condition permit hybridisation between nuclic acids where there are some mismatched bases.It is achieved by increasing NaCl concentration or decreasing annealing temperature below the Tm of the molecules or increasing formide concentration.
We might wish to do a “low stringency” annealing temperature in a PCR reaction when we are comparing DNA between different species or in experiments where a mismatch is expexted like searching for a single base mutation.
