摘要 |
The present invention provides amplification methods for producing a population of single stranded polynucleotides from a target polynucleotide, comprising (a) extending an RNA primer in a complex comprising (i) a DNA template comprising a sequence that is complementary to the target polynucleotide, and (ii) the RNA primer, wherein the RNA primer is hybridized to the DNA template, and (b) cleaving the RNA primer with an enzyme that cleaves RNA from an RNA/DNA hybrid such that another RNA primer hybridizes to the DNA template and repeats primer extension by strand displacement. |
