Sensitive and homogeneous microRNA detection using branched cascade enzymatic amplification.

This assay, termed branched cascade enzymatic amplification (BCEA), can be a novel and straightforward method for sensitive and specific microRNA detection in crude cellular extracts of cancer cells at physiological temperature, by coupling two ordinary polymerases, Klenow fragment exo(-) and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase.
