Summary: RNA is denatured in 8 M Urea and separated in a polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) based on its molecular weight. Using this method, fragments between 2 to 500 nucleotids can be separated. The migration of the RNA depends on the concentration of PAA: the higher the PAA percentage, the better the resolution of low molecular weight fragments and vice versa. We used 10 % PAA to separate fragments between 50 - 200 nucleotides in 10 ml mini-gels (10.5 x 10 cm) using the Hoefer SE260 Mighty Small system. Subsequently, RNA is transfered from the gel to a nylon membrane (Northern blotting) by using aTrans-Blot SD Semi-Dry Electrophoretic Transfer Cell (BioRad).
