<p>The present invention is predicated on the novelty of certain RNA transcripts, their production, optional replication, and use, to achieve desired amplification and detection of corresponding (in sequence) target nucleic acid sequence. The transcripts correspond in sequence to a target nucleic acid sequence contained in an original sample amongst a mixture of nucleic acids, and therefore, the presence of the transcripts in amplified form provides for their detection, and hence by correspondence, the in vitro or x-vivo detection of the presence of the target nucleic acid sequence in said sample.</p> |
