Abstract: 

Successful detection of very small RNAs (tiny RNA, ~14 nt in length) by
Northern blotting is dependent on improved Northern blot protocols that
combine chemical crosslinking of RNA with
1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC) to positively
charged membranes, the use of native polyacrylamide gels, and the
development of highly sensitive and specific probes modified with locked
nucleic acids (LNA). In this protocol, we show that Northern blot
detection of tiny RNAs with 5′-digoxigenin-labeled DNA/LNA mixmer probes
is a highly sensitive and specific method and, in our hands, more
sensitive than using a corresponding DNA/LNA mixmer probe with a 5′-³²P-end label.
