DNA-DEPENDENT RNA-DIRECTED PROTEIN SYNTHESIS in vitro , I. EXTENT OF GENOME TRANSCRIPTION

Abstract
We have described an in vitro system which couples UTP incorporation into RNA by DNA-dependent RNA polymerase with RNA-directed amino acid incorporation into polypeptides. Using the technique of DNA-RNA hybridization, we have demonstrated that the whole ΦX-174 genome is transcribed during concomitant protein synthesis.
