| abstract |
The present invention is concerned with a method of producing a target RNA using a circular DNA, wherein said method does not comprise a step of linearizing said circular DNA. The present invention further relates to a circular DNA comprising an RNA polymerase promoter sequence, followed by a sequence encoding a target RNA, followed by a sequence encoding a self-cleaving ribozyme, followed by an RNA polymerase terminator sequence element, wherein the latter element may comprise several RNA polymerase terminator sequences. Multimeric DNA obtained by rolling circle amplification of said circular DNA is also within the scope of the present invention. |
