Abstract
The nucleic acid amplification procedures of the present invention provide methods for amplification of a nucleic acid comprised of a first strand, comprising (a) using the first strand to generate copies of a second strand at a first location, (b) moving the copies of the second strand to a second location, and (c) using the copies of the second strand to generate copies of at least a portion of the first strand. Target nucleic acids used in the context of the present method include RNA or DNA, either single stranded or double stranded, using primer extension or joining-type protocols. Embodiments are set forth for automated forms of the claimed procedures.
