Questions related to Small RNA
Hi, It is the first time I am working with small RNA-Protein interaction. I need to design DNA template for T7 RNA polymerase to synthesize my small RNA. I just want to make sure I need to put the...

I am doing an over-expression of a small RNA of less than 200bp. Firstly, I do a PCR and an electrophoresis and the intensity of the band of my RNA is good. But when I cut that band and I purify...

Can anyone tell me if at the time of making libraries of small RNAs have to make 6% polyacrylamide gel and cut the band. This I could not replace purification with magnetic beads. There is another...

OK, let's imagine you have lists (fasta files) of clean unique 18-30 nt reads with their frequences from several libraries. How do you sort our the functionally important sRNA (particularly...

Hello, I am about to IP my protein of interest and maybe (I hope so) some small RNA would co-IP with it. Since this is my first time in this area, would anyone be so kind to suggest the best...
