Abstract

See full text

A method is disclosed for producing at least one copy of a pair of complementary single stranded polynucleotides. The method comprises forming, in the presence of nucleoside triphosphates and template dependent polynucleotide polymerase along each of the complementary single stranded polynucleotides, an extension of a polynucleotide primer. The polynucleotide primer is comprised of at least a sequence of 16 nucleotides terminating at its 3' end in a 2 to 9 nucleotide sequence (S1), which is complementary with the 3' ends of both of the complementary single stranded polynucleotides. The polynucleotide primer has at least an 8 nucleotide sequence (S2) that is 5' of S1, where S2 is 50 to 80% complementary to the nucleotide sequences contiguous with the 3' ends of the complementary single stranded polynucleotides. The extended polynucleotide primer and the single stranded polynucleotides are then dissociated.
