Abstract

A method is described for constructing double-stranded DNA using messenger RNA templates. DNA strands complementary to the templates are formed using a non-specific 3' hydroxy terminus primer. After separation, the DNA single strands are disabled from self priming by blocking the free 3' hydroxy. Primer segments are then provided complementary to a portion of the amino terminus-coding end of the desired single strands. These primer segments are then extended with a suitable polymerase to complete the complementary strands.
