Abstract excerpt
We have examined the ability of the reverse transcriptase (RT) from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to carry out strand transfer synthesis (i.e., switching of the primer to a new template) from internal regions of natural-sequence RNA. A 142-nucleotide RNA template (donor) primed with a specific 20-nucleotide DNA oligonucleotide was used to initiate synthesis. DNA oligonucleotides with homology to internal...
