Abstract excerpt
The cricket paralysis virus (CrPV) intergenic region internal ribosome entry site (IRES) binds to the ribosome without the need for any initiation factors. Their length, simple mechanism, and ability to function in diverse cell-free systems make CrPV-like IRESs useful tools to study the mechanism of translation and to express proteins. We report the use of a RelE-based next-generation sequencing method,...
