Enhanced Northern Blot Detection of Small RNA Species in Drosophila Melanogaster

¹Département de Génomique Fonctionnelle et Cancer, Institut de Génétique et de Biologie Moléculaire et Cellulaire, ²Center for Life NanoScience, Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia

The aim of this publication is to visualize and discuss the operative steps of an Enhanced Northern Blot protocol on RNA extracted from Drosophila melanogaster embryos, cells, and tissues. This protocol is particularly useful for the efficient detection of small RNA species.
