GC-rich DNA regions are still a challenge in amplification and sequencing applications due to the high thermal and structural stability of the G-C bond promoting complex secondary structure formation.

Strand-destabilizing nucleotide analogs such as 7-Deaza-dGTP and N4-Methyl-dCTP have been widely used to overcome such amplification and sequencing challenges of GC-rich DNA regions: They are enzymatically incorporated instead of their natural counterparts (dGTP or dCTP, respectively) thereby leading to enhanced amplification, improved resolution and reduced artifacts[1-5].
