The identification of RNases or RNase effectors is a continuous challenge, particularly given the current importance of RNAs in the control of genome expression. Here, we show that a fluorogenic RNA-DNA hybrid is a powerful tool for a real-time fluorescence detection and assay of exoribonucleases (RT-FeDEx). This RT-FeDEx assay provides a new strategy for the isolation, purification, and assay of known and unknown exoribonucleases.
