摘要

A method for the formation of double stranded nucleic acid molecules from separate single stranded nucleic acid molecules in a single phase reaction solution is disclosed wherein the rate of reaction is greatly increased over the rate of reaction at standard reference conditions. The greatly accelerated reaction rate is accomplished through the use of known concentrations of nucleic acid precipitating agents which are added to the reaction solution. Nucleic acid denaturing agents may also be added. The solution so formed is incubated and then assayed for the presence of double stranded nucleic acid molecules.
