Transcription was carried out as described previously (30 (link)). When a T7 transcription was followed by a T3 transcription, the T7 transcription was stopped by adding a final concentration of 2 μM T7 inhibitor (5′-GAAATTAATACGACTCACTATA-3′) (31 (link)). Then, 0.02 mM Fluorescein-12-UTP (Roche) and 2 U/μl T3 RNA polymerase (Thermo Scientific) were added. The samples were incubated at 37°C for 60 min, followed by a treatment with 0.04 U/μl DNase I (Thermo Scientific) at 37°C for 15 min and an extraction with phenol/chloroform. RNA products were denatured in 80% formamide and resolved on an 8% denaturing polyacrylamide gel.
