hi guys! i am having a hair pulling moment here i cant determine what my northern blot results mean i hope someone can help…
i ran c. elegans RNA and detected with cDNA probe. the length of the (cdna) gene is 594bp. my gDNA sequence is approx 900bp . i am getting two transcripts at approx 900bp and 1200bp what does this mean?
thanks in advance

maybe unprocessed and processed RNA?
I have never used northern blots (honestly I didn’t know anyone still used them) so I’m just taking a guess here

Is it possible you are picking up a mRNA from a similar gene that produces a larger transcript?
