1. A process for substantially amplifying template nucleic acid sequences in a sample in a randomly primed and template dependent manner, comprising the steps of:

  • (a) priming template nucleic acid strands with an excess of random oligonucleotide primers; and

    (b) incubating said template nucleic acid strands and said excess random oligonucleotide primers in the presence of an excess of an inducing agent, a strand displacement agent, and an excess of triphosphate substrates to randomly amplify nucleic acid strands.
