Insertion mutagenesis using known DNA sequences such as T-DNA and transposons is an important tool for studies on gene function in plant sciences. The transposons Activator (Ac) /Dissociation (Ds) have been systematically used to manipulate plant chromosomes. For both of these applications, the recovery of genomic DNA sequences flanking the insertions is required to estimate the sizes and/or scales of the reconstituted chromosomes. In this chapter, we describe the protocols for thermal asymmetric interlaced PCR (TAIL-PCR) for isolation of genomic sequences flanking DNA inserts in plant genomes.
