Abstract
Methods and compositions for the insertion and molecular cloning of RNA in DNA cloning vectors are described. RNA molecules to be cloned are modified by the ligation of oligonucleotide linkers onto the termini of the RNA molecule using T4 RNA ligase. Such linkers may be composed of DNA, RNA, or mixtures of each and facilitate the insertion and ligation of the RNA species into a DNA cloning vector. The resulting recombinant vectors are used to transform host cells which provide for the generation of multiple DNA copies of the RNA molecule.
