Quercus mPNA
Quercus mitochondrial 16S rRNA blocker
Quercus mPNA is a species-specific PNA PCR blocker developed to reduce mitochondrial 16S rRNA amplification in oak (Quercus) samples. It targets the conserved sequence gtgaattggtttggagtt, helping to limit background signal from organellar DNA and improve the detection of nuclear genes in PCR and qPCR analyses. This tool is particularly useful in ecological genomics, forest research, and transcriptomic studies on oak, where accurate nuclear DNA amplification is essential.
Main characteristics
Quercus mPNA PCR blocker is designed to target mitochondrial rRNA in Quercus, allowing selective suppression of unwanted organellar amplification. By reducing non-target signals, it enhances the sensitivity and detection of nuclear gene targets. It is fully compatible with standard PCR and qPCR workflows, and its PNA backbone provides high stability and resistance to nuclease degradation. This makes it particularly useful for forest genetics and tree biodiversity studies. A terminal glycine is added to the PNA structure to improve flexibility and reduce steric hindrance, which can help optimize binding efficiency without affecting specificity.
Applications
- Suitable for PCR workflows using Quercus DNA and RNA samples
- Reduces mitochondrial rRNA amplification in oak tissues
- Supports high-resolution genomics and transcriptomics in oak
- Applicable to environmental and conservation DNA studies
- Useful for studying fungal–plant interactions in forest ecosystems
- Enables biodiversity and population genetics research in Quercus species
