Engineered RNA polymerases and capping enzymes for the expression of 7‑methylguanylate capped RNA
Background Dr. Andrew Ellington and his team have identified and engineered a novel group II intron reverse transcriptase, RT-12. Dr. Ellington is a Professor in Molecular Biosciences, the Nancy Lee and Perry R. Bass Regents Chair in Molecular Biology, and holds the Wilson M. and Kathryn Fraser Research Professorship in Biochemistry at UT Austin. His...

Low-cost rapid diagnosis of viral diseases
Background/problem Detection of infectious diseases relies on amplification techniques of genetic material such as RNA or DNA. State-of-the-art amplification techniques include RT-PCR and RT-LAMP, both of which use a reverse transcriptase (RT) to amplify RNA. Usually, an RNA strand is reverse transcribed into comple­mentary DNA (cDNA), which is...
