  2. Transcription-mediated amplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription-mediated...

    In contrast to similar techniques such as polymerase chain reaction and ligase chain reaction, this method involves RNA transcription (via RNA polymerase) and DNA synthesis (via reverse transcriptase) to produce an RNA amplicon (the source or product of amplification) from a target nucleic acid. This technique can be used to target both RNA and ...

  3. Extension Poly(A) Test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extension_Poly(A)_Test

    The method consists of three separate steps: in the first step, the poly-adenylated RNA is hybridised to a DNA oligonucleotide featuring a poly-deoxythymidine sequence at its 5’ end. Klenow polymerase then catalyses elongation of the mRNA’s 3’ end, using the DNA oligonucleotide as a template. This reaction takes place at 25 °C.

  4. NASBA (molecular biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASBA_(molecular_biology)

    Reverse transcriptase again synthesizes another DNA strand from the attached primer resulting in double stranded DNA. T7 RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region on the double strand. Since T7 RNA polymerase can only transcribe in the 3' to 5' direction [15] the sense DNA is transcribed and an anti-sense RNA is produced. This is repeated ...

  5. Transcription (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_(biology)

    Both DNA and RNA are nucleic acids, which use base pairs of nucleotides as a complementary language. During transcription, a DNA sequence is read by an RNA polymerase, which produces a complementary, antiparallel RNA strand called a primary transcript. In virology, the term transcription is used when referring to mRNA synthesis from a viral RNA ...

  6. Reverse Transcription Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Transcription_Loop...

    Reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) is a one step nucleic acid amplification method to multiply specific sequences of RNA. It is used to diagnose infectious disease caused by RNA viruses. [1] It combines LAMP [2] DNA-detection with reverse transcription, making cDNA from RNA before running the reaction. [3]

  7. RNA polymerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RNA_polymerase

    RNA polymerase (purple) unwinding the DNA double helix. It uses one strand (darker orange) as a template to create the single-stranded messenger RNA (green). In molecular biology , RNA polymerase (abbreviated RNAP or RNApol ), or more specifically DNA-directed/dependent RNA polymerase ( DdRP ), is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactions ...

  8. Primary transcript - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_transcript

    This DNA strand is bound by an RNA polymerase at the promoter region of the DNA. [2] Transcription of DNA by RNA polymerase to produce primary transcript. In eukaryotes, three kinds of RNA—rRNA, tRNA, and mRNA—are produced based on the activity of three distinct RNA polymerases, whereas, in prokaryotes, only one RNA polymerase exists to ...

  9. Thermostable DNA polymerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermostable_DNA_Polymerase

    [42] [43] [44] KOD polymerase and some modified thermostable DNA polymerases (iProof/Phusion, Pfu Ultra, Velocity or Z-Taq) are used as a PCR variant with shorter amplification cycles (fast PCR, high-speed PCR) due to their high synthesis rate. Processivity describes the average number of base pairs before a polymerase falls off the DNA template.
