Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Improved methods that increase the specificity and sensitivity of detection of small RNAs, including miRNAs, using oligonucleotide primers and nucleic acid amplification, are provided. Reaction conditions that result in preferential decrease in cDNA synthesis of RNAs other than the small RNA molecules targeted for detection during miRNA tailing and reverse transcription reactions are described. Using these reaction conditions greater sensitivity and specificity of amplification of small RNAs including miRNAs is achieved.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for preparing a cDNA copy of a small RNA molecule, comprising: (a) providing a small RNA from a biological sample, wherein said RNA is from 18 to 28 nucleotides in length; (b) incubating the small RNA with an enzyme capable of catalyzing the addition of nucleotides at the 3′ end of the small RNA in the presence of a single ribonucleotide triphosphate selected from the group consisting of ATP, GTP, UTP, and CTP and at a final concentration of divalent magnes…
