Abstract excerpt
A new approach for improved RT-PCR is described. It is based on primers designed to form controlled stem-loop and homodimer configurations, hence the name 'double-bubble' primers. The primers contain three main regions for efficient RT-PCR: a 3' short overhang to allow reverse transcription, a stem region for hot start and a template-specific region for PCR amplification. As proof of principle, GAPDH, SARS-CoV-2...
