Nucleic acid amplification with DNA-dependant RNA polymerase activity of RNA replicases

The present invention entails methods and kits for carrying them out based on the discovery that an RNA replicase, such as Qbeta replicase, has DNA-dependent RNA polymerase ("DDRP") activity with nucleic acid segments, including DNA segments and DNA:RNA chimeric segments, which comprise a...

Zusammenfassung:The present invention entails methods and kits for carrying them out based on the discovery that an RNA replicase, such as Qbeta replicase, has DNA-dependent RNA polymerase ("DDRP") activity with nucleic acid segments, including DNA segments and DNA:RNA chimeric segments, which comprise a 2'-deoxyribonucleotide or an analog thereof and which have sequences of RNAs that are autocatalytically replicatable by the replicase.
