Abstract
Currently, the discovery of new small ncRNAs requires high throughput methods even in the case of focused research on the regulation of specific genes or set of genes. We propose herein a simple, rapid, efficient, and cost effective method to clone and sequence single, yet unknown, small ncRNA. This technique that we called "Pocket-sized RNA-Seq" or psRNA-seq is based on in vitro transcription, RNA pull down and adapted RACE-PCR methods that allow its implementation using either available commercial kits or in-house reagents.
