Random hexamer primers consist of a mixture of nucleotides (A, C, G, T) arranged in a random sequence, which allows them to hybridize to any region of the DNA/RNA template. This randomness enables the primers to anneal to many different locations along the DNA/RNA, resulting in the synthesis of cDNA fragments from across the entire DNA/RNA molecule.
The use of random hexamer primers is particularly useful when studying DNA/RNA samples with unknown or complex sequences, as it allows for the synthesis of cDNA without prior knowledge of the RNA sequence. Additionally, the random priming method often results in more full-length cDNA transcripts, as compared to gene-specific priming methods that target a single known sequence.
