Publication number: 20160272954Abstract: In some embodiments, the present teachings provide methods for nucleic acid amplification, comprising forming a reaction mixture, and subjecting the reaction mixture to conditions suitable for nucleic acid amplification. In some embodiments, methods for nucleic acid amplification include subjecting the nucleic acid to be amplified to partially denaturing conditions. In some embodiments, methods for nucleic acid amplification include amplifying without fully denaturing the nucleic acid that is amplified. In some embodiments, the methods for nucleic acid amplification employ an enzyme that catalyzes homologous recombination and a polymerase. In some embodiments, methods for nucleic acid amplification can be conducted in a single reaction vessel. In some embodiments, methods for nucleic acid amplification can be conducted in a single continuous liquid phase of a reaction mixture, without need for compartmentalization of the reaction mixture or immobilization of reaction components.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2016Publication date: September 22, 2016Inventors: Chieh-Yuan LI, David RUFF, Shiaw-Min CHEN, Jennifer O'NEIL, Rachel KASINSKAS, Jonathan ROTHBERG, Bin LI, Kai Qin LAO, Wolfgang HINZ
