We developed a new technique suitable for improved detection of low-copy dsRNA using modified oligonucleotides as primers in RT-qPCR. Insertion of G-clamp residues into primers significantly improves thermal stability of duplexes with RNA without decrease of hybridization selectivity. The applicability of modified primers is demonstrated for detection of low-copy Kemerovo virus dsRNA.
