There is an increasing demand for efficient and robust production of short RNA molecules in both pharmaceutics and research. A standard method is <i>in vitro</i> transcription by T7 RNA polymerase. This method is sequence-dependent on efficiency and is limited to products longer than ~12 nucleotides. Additionally, the native initiation sequence is required to achieve high yields, putting a strain on sequence variability. Deviations from this sequence can lead to side products, requiring laboriou ...[more]
