RNA probes used in RNase protection are commonly produced by in vitro transcription of DNA templates containing a cDNA of interest and a bacteriophage RNA polymerase promoter sequence.

Micrograph image of RNA bacteriophages attached to part of the bacterium E. coli. A new study at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that bacteriophages made of RNA, a ...

Bacteriophages are small, virus-like organisms that infect bacteria. They are comprised of a protein capsule around an RNA or DNA genome. The bacteriophage structure may include various features ...

Next-Generation “-omics” Approaches Reveal a Massive Alteration of Host RNA Metabolism during Bacteriophage Infection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. PLOS Genetics , 2016; 12 (7): e1006134 DOI: 10. ...

This study puts RNA bacteriophages on the map and opens many new avenues of exploration." Wang estimates that of the more than 1,500 bacteriophages that have been identified, 99 percent of them ...

Bacteriophages are viruses that only infect bacterial cells, and new work has shown that bacteriophage RNA can covalently bind to bacterial proteins in a process termed RNAylation. The work has been ...

Researchers have discovered new RNA bacteriophages, viruses that attack bacteria, advancing understanding of virus evolution. A team of researchers from the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and ...

The scientists' research reveals that the bacteriophage's entire infection strategy, from hijacking the cell to implementing its own proliferation program, is based on RNA metabolism, a ...

Subsequently, RNA-guided ribonucleic acid nuclease (Cas13) or RNA-guided deoxyribonucleic acid nucleases (Cas9,12) counterselection is applied to selectively eliminate unedited bacteriophages.

Bacteriophages: Abundant and Diverse . Bacteriophages are found everywhere that bacteria proliferate, ... Can be made of DNA or RNA, and can be linear or circular, ...

These interactions are transient contacts between RNA and RNA-binding proteins based on specific RNA structures or sequences. Now, a team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute in Marburg, Germany ...
