A method of performing a non-isothermal nucleic acid amplification reaction, the method comprising the steps of: (a) mixing a target sequence with one or more complementary single stranded primers in conditions which permit a hybridization event in which the primers hybridize to the target, which hybridization event, directly or indirectly, leads to the formation of a duplex structure comprising two nicking sites disposed at or near opposite ends of the duplex; and performing an amplification process by; (b) using a nicking enzyme to cause a nick at each of said nicking sites in the strands of the duplex; (c) using a polymerase to extend the nicked strands so as to form newly synthesized nucleic acid, which extension with the polymerase recreates nicking sites; (d) repeating steps (b) and (c) as desired so as to cause the production of multiple copies of the newly synthesized nucleic acid.

Methods are provided for multiplexed amplification of selected targets and analysis of the amplified targets. In preferred aspects the amplification and analysis take place on the same solid support and preferably in a localized area such as a bead or a feature of an array. In preferred aspects the analysis is a determination of sequence at one or more locations in the amplified target. The methods may be used for genotyping, sequencing and analysis of copy number.
