Abstract: A method of performing a non-isothermal nucleic acid amplification reaction, the method comprising the steps of: (a) mixing a target sequence with one or more complementary single stranded primers in conditions which permit a hybridization event in which the primers hybridize to the target, which hybridization event, directly or indirectly, leads to the formation of a duplex structure comprising two nicking sites disposed at or near opposite ends of the duplex; and performing an amplification process by; (b) using a nicking enzyme to cause a nick at each of said nicking sites in the strands of the duplex; (c) using a polymerase to extend the nicked strands so as to form newly synthesized nucleic acid, which extension with the polymerase recreates nicking sites; (d) repeating steps (b) and (c) as desired so as to cause the production of multiple copies of the newly synthesized nucleic acid.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of performing a non-isothermal nucleic acid amplification reaction, the method comprising the steps of: (a) mixing a target sequence with one or more complementary single stranded primers in conditions which permit a hybridisation event in which the primers hybridise to the target, which hybridisation event, directly or indirectly, leads to the formation of a duplex structure comprising two nicking sites disposed at or near opposite ends of the duplex; and performing an amplification process by; (b) causing a nick at each of said nicking sites in the strands of the duplex; (c) using a polymerase to extend the nicked strands so as to form newly synthesised nucleic acid, which extension with the polymerase recreates nicking sites; (d) repeating steps (b) and (c) as desired so as to cause the production of multiple copies of the newly synthesised nucleic acid; characterised in that the temperature at which the method is performed is non-isothermal, and subject to a reduction of at least 2° C. during the amplification process of steps (b)-(d).

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of performing a non-isothermal nucleic acid amplification reaction, wherein the temperature at which the method is performed is non-isothermal and subject to a reduction of at least 2° C. during amplification process steps. The present invention provides an improved nucleic acid amplification technique having one or more advantages over existing techniques including, for example, decreased reaction time, increased yield, and decreased non-specific amplification products.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of causing enzymatic digestion of in vitro synthesised nucleic acid (especially DNA), the method comprising the steps of: (a) combining reagents, in the presence of a temporarily substantially inactive nuclease, to form in vitro synthesised nucleic acid; and (b) subsequently permitting or causing the substantially inactive nuclease to regain substantial nuclease activity after a period of time has elapsed sufficient to allow detection of the in vitro synthesised nucleic acid, such that the in vitro synthesised nucleic acid is digested by the nuclease.
