Northern Blot can be used to detect transcription because it relies on the isolation of mRNA. mRNA is typically extracted from a sample using oligo (dT) – cellulose chromatography. Essentially, this method exploits the poly-A tail characteristic of mRNA. In living cells, there are three types of naturally occurring RNA: rRNA, tRNA and mRNA. mRNA has a segment of (~250) Adenine nucleotides on the 3’ end that enhances both the lifetime and translatability of mRNA. The sample can be ran through a column containing oligo dT or deoxyribose Thymine nucleotides. These thymine nucleotides act as a sort of ‘primer’ such as primers in a PCR binding with the Poly-A tail. This ‘double stranded’ mRNA complex can be eluted out with a slight pH fluctuation. The isolated mRNA is then ran on a gel allowing it to segregate by size, and then blotted onto a nylon membrane. A positively charged nylon membrane is often more effective as the negatively charged nucleic acids have a higher affinity for it. The blotted membrane is then transferred to a transfer buffer containing RNA probes complimentary to the RNA sequence of interest. RNA is very unstable and is often degraded by factors such as high temperatures therefore the blotting process needs occur in the presence of formamide which helps lower the probe-RNA interaction temperature. Formamide is highly corrosive to the skin and an extreme teratogen. The membrane can then be examined under UV light, which will allow the RNA-probe complexes to fluoresce. This indicates that the DNA sequence of interest is being translated. </p></div></td><td class='diff-marker'> </td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><p>The most commonly used tests for transcription and translation are the Northern and Western Blot respectively.

Firstly, it is an extremely selective procedure. Concentrations of buffers, solvents and probes need to be optimal for the reaction to occur. Additionally, primer and probe sequences need to be exact. The entire Northen Blot procedure can take up to 8 days, which can be big issue for iGEM teams with stringent deadlines. Another major limitation is due the unstability of RNA, if RNA samples are even slightly degraded, the quality of the data and the ability to quantitate expression are severely compromised. For example, even a single cleavage in 20% of 4 kb target molecules will decrease the returned signal by 20%. Thus, RNase-free reagents and techniques are essential.

Essentially, this method exploits the poly-A tail characteristic of mRNA. In living cells, there are three types of naturally occurring RNA: rRNA, tRNA and mRNA. mRNA has a segment of (~250) Adenine nucleotides on the 3’ end that enhances both the lifetime and translatability of mRNA.

This ‘double stranded’ mRNA complex can be eluted out with a slight pH fluctuation. The isolated mRNA is then ran on a gel allowing it to segregate by size, and then blotted onto a nylon membrane. A positively charged nylon membrane is often more effective as the negatively charged nucleic acids have a higher affinity for it. The blotted membrane is then transferred to a transfer buffer containing RNA probes complimentary to the RNA sequence of interest. RNA is very unstable and is often degraded by factors such as high temperatures therefore the blotting process needs occur in the presence of formamide which helps lower the probe-RNA interaction temperature. Formamide is highly corrosive to the skin and an extreme teratogen. The membrane can then be examined under UV light, which will allow the RNA-probe complexes to fluoresce.
