‘Suppression PCR’ was first published in English in [[Siebert and coll.,
1995|biblio/7731798]]. Figure 1B shows a ‘panhandle’ structure.
+Primer concentration (lower -> stronger suppression) and length ratio between
+inverted tandem repeats and PCR primer (shorter PCR primer -> stronger
+suppression) were investigated by Shagin and coll ([[1999|biblio/10471753]]).

Suppression PCR usually does not affect long (6~8 kbp) DNA molecules
(mentionned in [[Lukyanov and coll., 2007|biblio/10.1007_978-1-4020-6040-3_2]]).
