Abstract
The present invention provides a nucleic acid synthesis method which involves the step of incubating a double-stranded nucleic acid template under conditions that ensure a complementary strand synthesis reaction using a primer as an origin. This method involves the step of placing a region, to which a primer capable of isothermally amplifying the template nucleic acid will anneal, in a condition that ensures base pairing, using an arbitrary primer. The arbitrary primer initiates the complementary strand synthesis reaction, using the double-stranded nucleic acid as a template and DNA polymerases catalyzing the complementary strand synthesis reaction which comprises the destabilization of the double-stranded nucleic acid and strand displacement, thereby providing a region that can undergo base pairing.
