G:BOX iChemi XR & XT forImaging Ribonuclease Protection Assays

Gene Expression and protein activity within a cell are of great interest to researchers. Changes in cellular mRNA levels are of particular interest as these changes directly correlate in their corresponding protein levels, there are however exceptions to the rule. Many scientists study gene expression by monitoring the response of mRNA molecules to genetic manipulations this is often accomplished by using a number of different techniques including Northern blotting, RTPCR and nuclease protection assays.
