Did you mean long fragment PCR? From plasmid?
If correct, I might be able to give some advice.
I am PCRing a 7K fragment from the plasmid and cloning it into gateway system.
It is a little difficult to amplify a long fragment as long as 12-15K, but still doable.
Many things you need to think of in PCR.
The protocol is general, without guarantee of success. If it doesn't work, you need to adjust things by yourself.
The most important thing is enzyme
You need to use a robust enzyme while keeping the PCR high fidelity enough
I used Pfu ultra......it is really bad to amplify large piece although it has high fidelity. My boss just doesn't want to spend money to buy a new enzyme.....so I spent months trying to optimaize all conditions for this enzyme without good results. Finally, I read some other ariticals and many recommed phusion and I borrowed a little fro other lab.....it worked really good!
According to its protocol, it is even more fidelity than Pfu...I added a little (a little will be more than enough) Mg++ to improve the enzyme activity. If you add too much, the fidelity would be impaired. Please note that the extension time for phusion is ~25s/KB which is very diffrent from othe enzyme.
If you use plasmid, give shorter denatureing time like 1min and 10s for each cycle.
BTW, the primer is also a big problem sometimes, You need to check their Tm, GC content, and make sure it wouldn't form primer dimers.....

问问广大的bio同学们
有没有做过long range pcr的经验,
或者有做过大片断环形dna阔增的经验更好
n多实际操作的过程中的问题想请教
再顺便问一下,大家有建过EST library的么
