ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for multiplying the number of copies of a target polynucleotide sequence comprising a series of primer hybridization, extending, and denaturing steps to provide an intermediate double-stranded DNA molecule containing a promoter sequence (through the use of a promoter-sequence-containing primer) incorporated upstream from the target sequence. The double-stranded DNA intermediate is then used to grow multiple RNA copies of the target sequence. The resulting RNA copies can be used as target sequences to produce further copies. Multiple cycles of this sort can thereby exponentially increase the number of target sequence copies.
