Abstract:
A method for amplifying a nucleic acid amplification in the presence of an ionic liquid that suppresses an inhibitor of nucleic acid amplification, particularly when in a biological material, and a composition useful for performing the method.
Abstract:
A method of analyzing nucleic acid by compensating for crosstalk in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) data and other data, wherein crosstalk signals associated with multiple fluorescent dyes are corrected by using fluorescent intensity variations detected from a concentration difference of the fluorescent dyes, and apparatus for performing the method.
Abstract:
A polynucleotide comprising a first region the 5′ end of which is complementary to a portion of a target nucleic acid, a cleavable second region, a third region having a stem-loop structure, and a fourth region complementary to the 3′ end of the first region, and use of the polynucleotide, as well as a composition comprising two such polynucleotides each of which hybridize different strands of a double-stranded target nucleic acid, and methods and kits using the same for amplifying targets.
