These molecules are used to generate "libraries" of complementary fragments using RT enzymes.
Life Technologies offers a kit called mirVana that isolates small examples of these molecules. The "fill and lock" procedure begins a direct method on these molecules; that method's results can be mapped with TopHat. During laboratory purifications, diethylpyrocarbonate is used to prevent the degradation of these molecules by enzymes. When using a spectrophotometer to determine the purity of a solution of these molecules, one should target a value of 2 for the (*) A260/280 ratio. These molecules are used to generate "libraries" of complementary fragments using RT enzymes. These molecules, which contain a hydroxyl group in the 2-prime position of their 5-carbon sugar, comprise the structure of the ribosome and link gene to protein via translation. For 10 points, name these typically single-stranded nucleic acids that contain uracil
