A northern blot is a laboratory method used to detect specific RNA molecules among a mixture of RNA. Northern blotting can be used to analyze a sample of RNA from a particular tissue or cell type ...

Northern blotting and hybridization are used to study gene expression by detecting RNA species of interest, and to identify alternate RNA splicing patterns. It is analogous to Southern blotting ...

“A postdoc in my lab ran these northern blots on zoos of RNA, proving that these tiny RNAs were universal to animals,” Ruvkun said in the interview with Drug Discovery News. Nearly a decade after the ...
