Phosphoryl guanidine oligonucleotides as primers for RNA-dependent DNA synthesis using murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase by E. S. Dyudeeva, I. A. Pyshnaya

“…The accuracy and efficiency of cDNA synthesis in the reverse-transcription reaction catalyzed by reverse transcriptase (RNA-dependent DNA polymerase) significantly affect the correctness of the results of PCR diagnostic assays and/or RNA sequencing. In this regard, many studies are focused on the optimization of the reverse-transcription reaction, including the search for more perfect primers necessary to obtain a full-length DNA copy of RNA under study. …”
