| abstract |
Synthesis of the second strand of cDNA using pol ∝-primase is provided. Pol ∝-primase is used to initiate primers on a cDNA strand de novo, followed by extension of the primer with pol ∝-primase, a second DNA polymerase or a combination thereof. In a preferred embodiment, pol ∝-primase extends the primer, followed by addition of a second DNA polymerase, preferably Klenow fragment. |
