Abstract

A simple procedure for the isolation and preparative gel electrophoresis of snRNA and scRNA is described. These small RNA species were used to select DNA sequences from a human genomic library which are able to protect hybridized snRNA or scRNA against T1-ribonuclease attack. The snRNA clones obtained contain only sequences for one snRNA species and only one copy of the respective gene. In contrast, more than one 7S RNA gene is present within the scRNA clones.
