Method for target specific rna transcription of dna sequences

Abstract

Disclosed herein are methods of long range target specific amplification and sequencing using an RNA intermediate synthesized directly from the target including using hairpin adaptors having a double stranded promoter and an overhang which hybridizes with a reverse-complementary overhang on a target nucleic acid. RNA transcription eliminates clonal amplification of early synthesis errors. Approaches allow for the identification of target-adjacent sequence, such as sequence adjacent to a repeat element target. Also disclosed herein are compositions and kits for amplification and sequencing.
