| 摘要 |
The present invention provides novel compositions and methods for suppressing the expression of a targeted gene using RNA-DNA hybrid constructs. The invention further provides novel methods and compositions for generating or producing RNA-DNA hybrids, whose quantity is high enough to be used for the invention's gene silencing transfection and possibly in therapeutics applications. This improved RNA-polymerase chain reaction method utilizes thermocycling steps of promoter-linked DNA or RNA template synthesis, in vitro transcription and then reverse transcription to bring up the amount of RNA-DNA hybrids up to two thousand folds within one round of the above procedure for specific gene silencing.
