Abstract: Provided herein are methods of amplifying nucleic acids. In particular, methods are provided for amplifying circular RNA molecules. In certain embodiments, circular DNA molecules for amplification are generated from circular RNA molecules. Provided herein are methods for amplifying a nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, a method comprises priming a circular RNA template molecule with one or more DNA primers and extending the primers with a reverse transcriptase to generate a cDNA strand that is a copy of the circular RNA molecule. In certain embodiments, the cDNA strand generated is linear.
