RNA reverse transcription

Summary

The RNA template is used to obtain DNA by reverse transcription, which is then used to replicate and infect cells.

Caveat

1) A small pre-experiment can be performed first to determine the amount of reverse transcriptase.2) Add to the reaction [α32P]dCTP in the reaction, the quality and yield of reverse transcription can be detected by radioautography.3) For transcription of mRNAs with secondary structures that are detrimental to the transcription reaction, the use of avian reverse transcriptase with an optimal temperature of 42°C may yield better results.4) In addition to the use of oligo(dt)12-18In addition to the use of oligo(dt) 12-18, random oligonucleotides of length 6 can also be used in the reverse transcription.5) With the development and gradual popularization of gene chip technology, the method of obtaining fluorescently labeled cDNA probes from mRNA reverse carving has been developed. The difference with the commonly used isotope labeling of RNA probes is the addition of the fluorescent dyes Cy3 or Cy5 instead of the dNTP labeling of the model.
