[Progress of RNA amplification].
The technology of RNA amplification is developing with the application of gene chip and it is not only adapted for chip hybridization, but also applied in other purposes as well. The methodologies of RNA amplification were reviewed, focused on linear, exponential and linear plus exponential amplifications. The amplification of microRNA was also introduced and a prospect of RNA amplification was made.
