Summary Introduction

To review:

Northern blotting method and mutation affecting the length of mRNA(messenger ribonucleic acid), that is transcribed from a gene.

Introduction:

Northern blotting is a method used in molecular biology research to study gene expression(the process by which the information from the gene is used in the synthesis of a functional gene product). Electrophoresis technique (separation ofcharged molecules like RNA(ribonucleic acid) and DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid) by size) is used in northern blotting technique for separating the RNA sample by size.
