Background: Multiplex PCR, defined as the simultaneous amplification of multiple regions of a DNA template using more than one primer set (comprising a forward primer and a reverse primer) in one tube, has been widely used in clinical and environmental microbiology studies. However, primer design for multiplex PCR is still a challenging problem and several factors need to be considered. These problems include mis-priming due to nonspecific binding to non-target DNA templates, primer...

... on a single SNP or short sequence stretch, necessitating the consideration of several genomic regions. A promising rapid approach is the simultaneous application of multiple sequencing primers, called multiplex pyrosequencing. These primers generate a fingerprint-pyrogram which is constituted by the sum of all individual pyrograms originating from each primer used. MultiPSQ allows the analysis and classification of multiplex-pyrograms originating from various pyrosequencing primers.
