English term

multiplex single-base primer extension

English to Spanish Medical Genetics
This is from a text on cancer genome. I've "minisecuenciación múltiple" as a possible equivalent, but I'm not quite sure.

"Both assays rely upon multiple PCR (polymerase chain reaction) steps to amplify DNA regions of interest and multiplex single-base primer extension with dideoxynucleotides. Extension products are then analyzed either by mass spectrometry , which can distinguish different bases according to their mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio (Sequenom Mass Spectrometry system) ..."

I'd really appreciate any help you can provide.

Neil Ashby Jun 12, 2017:
FWIW "amplificación multiplex" in the answer from David, which is extremely similar to the one I gave much earlier (where's the difference?), is LESS COMMON than the expression "amplificación multiple" given in my suggestion (posted 4 days earlier).

amplificación multiplex de cebador de base única

La técnica se denomina 'minisecuenciación'.
Puedes utilizar 'de base única' o 'de una sola base'. Esa parte no es tan importante como el utilizar 'amplificación' para traducir 'extension'. Se usa también 'elongación' pero 'amplificación' es el término habitual. 'Multiplex' se utiliza habitualmente en el campo. 'Primer' es 'cebador' en biología molecular. En química/bioquímica quizá se utilice más 'iniciador', no lo sé.

extensión/amplificación multiple de cebadores/iniciadores/primeres de una sola base

Amplificación Múltiple Dependiente de Sonda (Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification o MLPA): permite amplificar varias secuencias objetivo con un único par de cebadores, evitando así las limitaciones de resolución de la PCR multiplex.

I give the same answer 4 days earlier, with a more common term ("multiple" as opposed to "multiplex"), a real reference that actually opens and that's the thanks I get.
