    摘要: The present teachings provide novel methods for amplifying short nucleic acids. In some embodiments, the present teachings provide novel methods for linearly amplifying a collection of micro RNAs by using temperature cycling during a reverse transcription reaction. The cycling can comprise at least 20 cycles of an annealing temperature segment of 10 C-30 C, and a denaturation temperature segment of 35 C-60 C. In some embodiments, the temperature cycled reaction can comprise an osmolyte.

    摘要: Improved methods, compositions and kits for detecting mutations in nucleic acids are disclosed, such comprise annealing a piece of control nucleic acid without mutations to a piece of test nucleic acid very similar in sequence to the control nucleic acid but possibly containing mutations, treating this mixture with potassium permanganate or hydroxylamine to remove mismatched bases from the duplex nucleic acid, treating the resulting nucleic acid with any of a class of diamines, triamines, and tetraamines analogous to 1,2-ethylenediamine to cleave abasic sites, and then analyzing the chemically treated nucleic acid to determine whether cleavage has occurred and approximately at what position in the nucleic acid any cleavage has occurred. Inclusion of betaine in the base-removal reactions improves their sensitivity and specificity. This series of non-hazardous, non-noxious, chemical treatments can be performed rapidly in a single reaction tube with no or minimal intervening separation steps; and the cleavage product can be prepared for the analysis step without removing the chemical reagents used to effect cleavage.

    摘要: Useful for visualizing biological materials in a solid phase, on a gel, or in a liquid phase is a solid salt of the meriquinone of benzidine or a substituted benzidine. An immobilized or dissolved complex of a polymeric anion and the meriquinone of benzidine or a substituted benzidine having controllable solubility may also be employed. Preferred are meriquinone salts and complexes of 3,3,5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine. For visualization, the benzidine or substituted benzidine is oxidized to its meriquinone at pH 3 to 7 in the presence of an effective anion or polymeric anion, an oxidation catalyst, and an effective amount of oxidant to form a solid salt or immobilized complex of the meriquinone under conditions where the meriquinone solubility lies below about 10.sup.-5 M.

    摘要: The invention provides a method for reducing stutter in the amplification of a microsatellite comprising the steps of providing a sample comprising a microsatellite having a G+C content of 50% or less; contacting the sample with at least one enzyme having nucleic acid polymerase activity; and incubating the sample with the enzyme for a sufficient amount of time and under conditions sufficient to amplify the microsatellite; wherein the incubation is performed in the presence of an amount of betaine, sorbitol or mixtures thereof, effective to reduce stutter relative to the amount of stutter observed in the absence of betaine and/or sorbitol. The invention also provides compositions containing betaine and/or sorbitol, kits for amplifying microsatellites having a G+C content of 50% or less, and methods of using all of the foregoing.
