  • Isothermal amplification of nucleic acids
    Patent number: 7824890
    Abstract: A process of amplifying a nucleic acid template dependent on partial destruction of primer molecules which have extended onto the template molecule followed by strand invasion of the partially destroyed primer template by a replacement primer. The destruction of the primer molecule may be performed by either endonuclease or exonuclease digestion. A signal generation from the amplified products may be obtained by the use of adaptors capable of binding probe molecules as well as the amplified product.
