It has been shown by bioinformatic methods that regions of the Bombyx mori viral nuclear polyhedrosis genome encoded two small RNA – snc RNA-1 and snc RNA-2, which could perform a structural function in polyhedra crystals formation. The aim of this work was identification of the nucleotide sequence of small non-coding RNAs, predicted by bioinformatic methods in B. mori polyhedra. The following methods have been used: polymerase chain reaction, agarose gel electrophoresis, the cloning of PCR products, sequencing. There were first determined nucleotide sequences of snc RNA-1 and snc RNA-2 of polyhedrin mRNA complementary regions which are included in B. mori polyhedra. These RNAs have 100% identity with bioinformatic predicted sequences. These results confirmed our bioinformatic approach to the search for small RNAs encoded in B. mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus genome.
