Abstract excerpt
Twister ribozymes are an extensively studied class of nucleolytic RNAs. Thousands of natural twisters have been proposed using sequence homology and structural descriptors. Yet, most of these candidates have not been validated experimentally. To address this gap, we developed Cleavage High-Throughput Assay (CHiTA), a high-throughput pipeline utilizing massively parallel oligonucleotide synthesis and...
