Abstract

An in vitro method for constructing an oligonucleotide concatamer library is revealed. The method has four steps. The first step involves the generation of a primer-bridged circular template oligonucleotide. In the second step, the primer-bridged circular template is used to generate a single-stranded oligonucleotide concatamer by rolling circle replication. In the third step, the single-stranded oligonucleotide concatamer is converted to a double-stranded oligonucleotide concatamer. Finally, the double-stranded oligonucleotide concatamer is cloned or used directly in in vitro assays which allow molecules of interest to be isolated or amplified.
