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.
