Reverse transcriptase inhibits Taq polymerase activity

Abstract excerpt

Detection of viral RNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) requires the prior reverse transcription of the viral RNA. In order to minimise the number of manual manipulations required for processing large numbers of samples, we attempted to design a system whereby all the reagents required for both reverse transcription and amplification can be added to one tube and a single, non-interrupted thermal cycling program...
