title: Enhanced full-length transcription of Sindbis virus RNA by effective denaturation with methylmercury hydroxide.
abstract: 49-S Sindbis virus RNA was reverse transcribed into a complementary DNA. The RNA templates were denatured by three different methods prior to DNA synthesis. Efficient full-length transcription was only achieved after treatment with methylmercury hydroxide.
