The opposing primer-based approach requires target-specific forward and reverse primers designed for both binding sites. This means it’s only possible to interrogate fusions that are known at the time of assay development. Therefore, unknown or novel fusions, including those relevant for solid tumor and blood cancer research, will be missed.
Anchored Multiplex PCR (AMP), on the other hand, amplifies from one gene-specific primer and one universal primer site in the adapter region, which is ligated to all fragments in the starting material. This enables all possible fusions, regardless of the partner, to be detected, ensuring you receive more relevant information from the sample.
