We have adapted to RNA molecules the ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction (LMPCR) procedure of genomic sequencing [Mueller, P. R. & Wold, B. (1989) Science 246, 780-786]. This new procedure, the reverse ligation-mediated PCR (RLPCR), is sufficiently sensitive to allow "in vivo" footprinting of minor RNA species. It is based on the ligation of an RNA linker of known sequence to every 5' e...
