1. A method of purifying messenger RNA (mRNA), comprising:
(a) providing an impure preparation comprising in vitro synthesized mRNA and prematurely aborted RNA sequences;
(b) subjecting the impure preparation comprising in vitro synthesized mRNA to a denaturing condition; and
(c) subjecting the treated impure preparation from step (b) to tangential flow filtration, thereby purifying the mRNA.
