The explanation of the result of northern blotting on the gel.

Introduction:

The technique of blotting that is used for the detection of specific RNA (ribonucleic acid) fragment from a mixture of RNA segments is termed as northern blotting. The fragments are run on a gel in the electric field for their separation on the basis of their size. It is used to detect the presence of specific expression of the gene in certain cells in organisms.
