Question

Which of the following techniques is most appropriate for analyzing RNA fragments?
A) Souther Blotting
B) Northern Blotting
C) RT-PCR
D) Southern Blotting and Northern Blotting
E) Northern Blotting and RT-PCR

Accepted Answer

Northern Blotting is the most appropriate technique for analyzing RNA fragments. Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) is also a suitable method for analyzing RNA fragments. Therefore, the best choice is Northern Blotting and RT-PCR. Souther Blotting is used for DNA fragments.
