Abstract

Methods for enzymatic amplification of RNA by the polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) are highlighted in this unit. The is especially useful for rare RNAs because all steps (annealing, reverse transcription, and amplification) are performed under optimal conditions, thereby maximizing efficiency and recovery. These are also important considerations when amplifying heterogeneous RNA populations or large RNAs. Although there are many commercially available kits for this procedure, the protocols listed here are good solid protocols that will work and that have withstood the test of time.
