A method allowing simultaneous amplification of multiple low-abundance targets in environmental samples. This is a two-step process that includes a combined reverse transcription and pre-amplification step, which utilizes a mix of gene-specific primer sets, followed by a second amplification step performed on the previously generated "RT- amplification" product. Initial amplification of each target is performed prior to the splitting of the sample for individual amplification and identification. The method combines the process of reverse transcription and amplification within a single processing apparatus. The method also enables gene-specific reverse transcription using gene-specific primers, thereby reducing if not eliminating non-specific product in this reverse transcription step of the process. |
