I have currently knocked out the gene to see the effect, but how can I characterize it better?
I am working on two genes of 1.5-2 kbp and thir function is currently described as "miscRNA" without any further details. I believe they have an influence on the virulence of the fungus I am investigating. I am planning to do RT-PCR. Would it make sense to isolate the compound? I have also tried to BLAST the sequence, but it only gives other miscRNA hits. Any suggestions?
