Abstract

Enrichment of specific RNAs is important for RNA analysis. MnCl2 has been used previously to enrich viroid RNA fractions from total RNA from infected plants. We have expanded this method to show that MnCl2 can enrich single-stranded as well as structured RNAs of 450 nt and below from a total RNA preparation. We have applied this method to map the transcription start sites of a PSTVd transcript from total RNA from yeast under conditions where the RNA was previously undetectable.
