Abstract
The invention provides a process for amplification of specific nucleic acid sequences based upon the separation of nucleic acid strands by an electromagnetic field. This means of separation allows the use of mesophilic polymerases in the amplification process, thereby increasing the speed and fidelity of the amplification process.
