= Primer walking
{wiki=Primer_walking}
Primer walking is a technique used in molecular biology, particularly in the context of DNA sequencing and the analysis of specific DNA regions. It involves designing and synthesizing a series of overlapping primers that anneal to a template DNA strand. This method allows for the sequential amplification of DNA segments using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or similar techniques, facilitating the generation of longer contiguous reads of DNA.
