So the first primers are the oligonuceotides coated on the beads and the second primer (to make a copy of the initial template DNA from the complementary DNA bound on the bead) is the amplification primer.
And then after amplification, you melt the DNA to get ssDNA again, add the biotinylated primer (which is complementary to the DNA on the beads) and then add the streptavidin beads to enrigh.
I got it know.
It was a bit complicated to completely understand it. I didnt find the manual clear enough because they refered to later steps too early etc.
Also its not said very cleary they use an amplification primer, they immediately speak about the enrichment primers etc.. very confusing.
Thanks a lot
