A symmetrical transcription initiator containing two adenosines and conjugated thiol functionality (ThioAMP dimer) is chemically synthesized. Transcription in the presence of ThioAMP dimer under the T7 Φ2.5 promoter yields 5' thiol-labeled RNA (5' HS-RNA) with up to 90% labeling efficiency, dependin
