Non-coding (nc)RNAs are important structural and regulatory molecules. Accurate determination of the primary sequence and secondary structure of ncRNAs is important for understanding their functions. During cDNA synthesis, RNA 3' end stem-loops can self-prime reverse transcription, creating RNA-cDNA chimeras. We found that chimeric RNA-cDNA fragments can also be detected at 5' end stem-loops, although at much lower frequency. Using the Gubler-Hoffman method, both types of chimeric fragments can ...[more]
