Abstract:
A method of amplifying RNA in a sample and a method of amplifying a pool of RNA is provided. Gene loss and amplification bias may be reduced using the methods. Also, directionality may be preserved in the amplified RNA. The methods may be applied in sequence analysis as well as in general molecular diagnostic areas.
Abstract:
Methods of labeling and detecting a target nucleic acid by incubating a target nucleic acid with a terminal transferase to extend a terminus of the target nucleic acid and provide an extended region; hybridizing the extended region of the target nucleic acid with a template polynucleotide having a nucleotide sequence complementary to the extended region to obtain a hybridization product; and incubating the hybridization product with a nucleic acid polymerase and either a deoxynucleotide triphosphate (dNTP) having a detectable label or nucleotide triphosphate (NTP) having a detectable label to further extend the extended target nucleic acid.
Abstract:
Provided are methods of efficiently amplifying DNA from RNA in sample, methods of efficiently estimating an amount of RNA in a sample, and compositions for efficiently amplifying DNA from RNA in a sample.
