For cDNA synthesis from microRNA using a stem-loop primer, is preliminary process necessary before the main synthesis process,like heating the primer?

05 January 2024 0 3K Report

Well, as you know, the stem-loop primer has a long chain, increasing the likelihood of undesirable secondary structure formation.
