Determination of nucleotide sequences from double-stranded regions of HeLa cell nuclear RNA☆☆☆
TL;DR: It is concluded that (here exists a substantial subpopulation of simple, potentially complementary sequences common to much of the heterogeneous nuclear RNA population and interspersed with other kinds of sequences.

A nucleotide sequence from a ribonuclease III processing site in bacteriophage T7 RNA
TL;DR: Transcription of that portion of the bacteriophage T7 genome encoding early functions yields RNA molecules about 7500 nucleotides long representing this entire early region, which can be cleaved in vitro by highly purified Escherichia coli ribonuclease III (endoribonucleasing III; EC 3.3.4.24).

Identification of the RNA region transferred from a representative primer, β-globin mRNA, to influenza mRNA during in vitro transcription
TL;DR: 125I-labeled oligonucleotides recovered from the viral mRNA in minor yields indicated that shorter 5' terminal pieces of beta-globin mRNA were sometimes transferred and that G was probably the first base inserted by transcription.
Minor differences between nucleotide sequences of mild and severe strains of potato spindle tuber viroid

TL;DR: As the only known component of viroids is RNA, mild and severe strains must differ in nucleotide sequence, and the study described here aimed to determine the extent of this difference.

Tomato DNA contains no detectable regions complementary to potato spindle tuber viroid as assayed by solution and filter hybridization.
TL;DR: These studies indicate that the apparent hybridization between (125)I-labeled PSTV and tomato DNA which can be observed in both solution and filter hybridization experiments is a consequence of the hybridization of host RNAs which are minor contaminants of the polyacrylamide gel-purified viroid preparations.
