Lack of specificity associated with using molecular beacons in loop mediated amplification assays

Abstract Background Loop mediated isothermal amplification of nucleic acid templates is a rapid, sensitive and specific method suitable for molecular diagnostics. However the complexity of primer design and the number of primers involved can lead to false positives from non-specific primer interacti...
