RNA Expression vectors (different from protein expression vectors) are used for the sole purpose of making RNA from a template DNA. In this video, we discuss some of the common applications of RNA expression vectors and their rules/principles of design. Finally, we look at two examples, including in vitro transcription to understand how design principles and applications change our design of RNA expression vectors.
