Abstract
Described herein are synthetic methods for producing sequence-specific RNA oligonucleotides that eliminate impurities produced in prior art methods. In one aspect, a first amplification primer includes one or more deoxyuridine residues, wherein at least one of the one or more deoxyuridine residues is at position −1, −2, −3, −4 or −5 of the promoter region for the single-subunit, DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. The deoxyuridines are excised to provide an amplified functional template DNA which is then used to synthesize RNA which has reduced immunogenic double stranded RNA compared to controls.
