RECOMBINANT RNA PRODUCTION

摘要

This invention relates to the production of RNA by co-expressing a tRNA ligase and a chimeric RNA molecule comprising a target RNA and a plant viroid scaffold, such as Eggplant latent viroid, in a host cell. This co-expression causes the production of large amounts of the chimeric RNA molecule in the host cells and may be useful for example in the production of RNA aptamers and other RNA molecules.
