Presented herein are methods and compositions for analyzing rare nucleic acid species. Some methods presented herein use DNA reassociation kinetics following thermal denaturation to define populations of nucleic acid sequences, e.g., highly abundant (e.g., cDNA from rRNA), moderately abundant, and less abundant or rare sequences (e.g., cDNA from mRNA).

Methods of analyzing nucleic acids

Methods, compositions and kits for amplifying a target sequence by strand displacement replication using strand-displacing primers. The method uses primers that have only ribonucleotides or purine ribonucleotides and at least one 2'-substituted pyrimidine-2&#x2032;-deoxyribonucleotide.
