Abstract

The present invention features inhibitors of target-independent amplification and the use of such inhibitors for enhancing an amplification protocol. The inhibitors are believed to enhance an amplification protocol by inhibiting the ability of one or more nucleic acid polymerases to use nucleic acid in a polymerase reaction in the absence of target nucleic acid.
