a type of finding a specific RNA fragment in a compound, like one stemming from a tissue extract. It is inclusive of separating the varied RNA molecules utilizing gel electrophoresis, splotching the separated RNAs onto nitrocellulose, then utilizing a nucleotide probe to hybridize with, and highlight, the RNA fragment being focused upon.
NORTHERN BLOT: “The northern blot found the exact RNA strand component that the researchers were looking for.”
