Warning: mRNA sequence when devoid of trailing 'A's is still not a substring of the plasmid sequence. Is it because an intron is spliced out? Stay calm then. :-)

Remarks:
The plasmid with SpeI - NcoI insert has been created by Han and Zhang (2002) and the sequence has been
provided to us by Wang et al. (2005). Han and Zhang (2002) re-cloned the PvuII - NcoI HRV-2 insert of
Stoneley et al. (2000) as SpeI - NcoI into the same backbone vector pRF. It is not clear why they did
that.
No additional transcripts were found on Northern-blot by Wang et al. from pR-HRV-F plasmid as shown in
Fig. 6A and B.
