| The content of RNA in the solution was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometric analysis. |
| Prions do not contain DNA or RNA as do fungi, bacteria, viruses, viroids, or any other previously known infectious entities. |
| First-strand cDNA was synthesized with an oligo primer from total RNA extracted from scutella of germinating seeds. |
| In the third step, an RNA oligo that carries two primer sites is ligated to the decapped mRNA by T4 RNA ligase. |
| Thymine, present in DNA, and uracil, present in RNA, also contribute to this band. |
| This hantavirus, a member of the Bunyaviridae family of RNA viruses, is transmitted by its reservoir host Peromyscus maniculatus, the deer mouse. |
