Introductions

Northern blot hybridization

Northern blot hybridization uses the principle of nucleic acid hybridization, and can observe the size and abundance of specific genes in plant tissues, organs, developmental stages, adversity, pathogen infection or during the entire treatment process with high precision and accuracy. The principle of northern blot hybridization is very simple. Firstly, according to the relative molecular weight, the total RNA is separated by denaturing agarose gel or polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Secondly, transfer the separated northern blot to nylon membrane or nitrocellulose membrane. Finally, the northern blot is hybridized with the labeled probe. If a gene is found to be significantly up-regulated or down-regulated, sequencing can be used to determine whether the gene is known or newly discovered. Electrophoretic separation based on molecular size reflects alternative splicing products of the same gene or repeated sequence. The size of the gene product can reflect the deletion or error in the transcription process. And by changing the probe with a known sequence, the region of RNA deletion can be determined.

Provided by customer

  • The target gene sequence and primer sequence to be hybridized
  • High-quality RNA samples to be hybridized
  • For long-distance transportation, add trozol or 1/10 volume of 3M NaAc pH5.2 to the qualified RNA solution, then add 2 times volume of absolute ethanol, and mix well.

Provided by Lifeasible

  • Remaining template and primers
  • RNA sample test report (the remaining experimental samples will not be returned, please keep a backup)
  • Experiment report (detailed experiment procedure, image, result analysis, etc.)

Advantages

  • The probe is labeled with DIG (Digoxin), which has the advantages of low noise, high sensitivity, and no radioactive contamination.
  • The original data and experimental materials are retained during the experiment, and the data is true and credible.
  • The experimental results are stable and repeatable.
  • Combining traditional film exposure with a cutting-edge automated chemiluminescence imaging detection system ensures that imaging time points with a better signal-to-noise ratio are captured, and high-quality experimental results can be delivered to customers. Customers can directly use the experimental data provided by us to submit articles.
