Comparison of specific and random priming in the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction for genotyping group A rotaviruses.

Abstract excerpt

This study describes an approach to the molecular typing of rotaviruses which requires only a single RNA extraction and reverse transcription (RT) reaction using random primers. Random-primed RT provides complementary DNA (cDNA) which can be used not only for G- and P-typing polymerase chain reactions (PCR), but also for the detection of other RNA viruses which may act as enteric pathogens. It is a sensitive and...
