METHOD FOR SYNTHESIZING THE NUCLEIC ACID

摘要

An oligonucleotide having a novel structure and a method for synthesizing a nucleic acid by using the same as a primer. In the 5'-side of the primer, th is oligonucleotide is provided with a base sequence which is substantially identical with the region to be synthesized by using this primer as a starti ng point of the synthesis. Thus, a nucleic acid can be synthesized on the basis of an isothermal reaction with the use of a simple reagent constitution. Als o, provision is made of a method for synthesizing a nucleic acid having a high specificity based on the above method for synthesizing a nucleic acid.
