Is there any specific RNAse for short dsRNA?

11 November 2014 1 4K Report

I'm doing an modified version of ribonuclease protection assay and besides cleaving only ssRNA, I need to cleave dsRNA too.

I found that RNAse III cleaves dsRNA into smaller fragments (

Perhaps RNase V1, Ambion #AM2275.

But unfortunately, it's no longer produced after Ambion merged with Life Technology.

How do you differentiate a 27 nt small RNA from a 21 nt small RNA by qPCR?

I have a 27 nt siRNA that is cleaved by DICER enzyme into a smaller 21 nt fragment. Due to physical and chemical modifications, this 27 nt will be cleaved on an exact point and will originate a...
