B. thuringiensis is a spore forming bacterium, which produces a crystal protein as parasporic inclusion in the vegetative cell containing the spore.

S1 mapping is used to locate the 5’- or 3’-ends of RNAs and to quantify the amount of a given RNA in cells at a given time.
#Id: 2632
The principle behind the S1 mapping method is to label a single stranded DNA probe that can hybridize only to the transcript of interest.
#Id: 2633
The probe must span the sequence where the transcript starts or ends. After hybridizing the probe to the transcript, one applies S1 nuclease, which degrades only single-stranded DNA and RNA.

Double-stranded DNAs, RNAs, and hybrids are protected from S1 nuclease degradation.
