+
+Reverse-transcriptases have a DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activity.
+ - It is utilised in [[template_switching]] methods to add linkers to first-strand cDNAs.
+ - It is also a source of antisense artefacts when the RT makes a second-strand cDNA
+ that is mistaken for a first-strand cDNA. ActinomycinD inhibits DNA-dependent,
+ but not RNA-dependent polymerase activity and is used to suppress these
+ artefacts ([[Perocchi et al., 2007|biblio/17897965]], [[Kanamori-Katayama et al., 2011|biblio/21596820]]).
