Abstract

The present teachings provide novel methods for amplifying short nucleic acids. In some embodiments, the present teachings provide novel methods for linearly amplifying a collection of micro RNAs by using temperature cycling during a reverse transcription reaction. The cycling can comprise at least 20 cycles of an annealing temperature segment of 10 C-30 C, and a denaturation temperature segment of 35 C-60 C. In some embodiments, the temperature cycled reaction can comprise an osmolyte.
