METHOD OF AMPLIFYING NUCLEIC ACID BY USING DOUBLE-STRANDED NUCLEIC ACID AS TEMPLATE

摘要

A method of synthesizing a nucleic acid which involves the step of using a double-stranded nucleic acid as a template and incubating under conditions allowing the establishment of a complementary chain synthesis reaction starting with a primer. This method involved the step of using a primer capable of isothermally amplifying the template nucleic acid as the primer and thus enabling base pairing in the domain to be annealed with this primer with the use of an arbitrary primer. The arbitrary primer initiates the complementary chain synthesis reaction, wherein the double-stranded nucleic acid is used as a template, by combining DNA polymerases catalyzing the complementary chain synthesis reaction associated with the unstabilization of the double-stranded nucleic acid and chain substitution, thereby providing a domain wherein base pairing can be performed.
