Abstract
Methods for making eDNA molecules, for amplification of RNA by PCR and for preparation of cDNA libraries are provided. Kits for making eDNA molecules also are provided. Compositions are also provided comprising mixtures of reagents, including reverse transcriptases, buffers, cofactors and other components, suitable for immediate use in conversion of RNA into eDNA and RT PCR without dilution or addition of further components. These compositions are useful, alone or in the form of kits, for eDNA synthesis or nucleic acid amplification (e.g., by the Polymerase Chain Reaction) or for any procedure utilizing reverse transcriptases in a variety of research, medical, diagnostic, forensic and agricultural applications.
