Is anybody using SSSR* for anything? How does it compare to PCR/LCR
in terms of sensitivity , specificity and ease of use? also, can anyone
explain the difference between SSSR (non-patented) and the to my eyes
very similar NASBA (nucleic acid sequence based amplification) which is
patented>
*self-sustained sequence replication entails amplification by RNA
transcription, for anyone who's wondering what I'm on about.
