High-Yield Explanation
The nohern blot is a technique used in molecular biology research to study gene expression by detection of RNA(or isolated mRNA) in a sample.The technique has been used to show overexpression of oncogenes and downregulation of tumor-suppressor genes in cancerous cells when compared to &;normal&; tissue, as well as the gene expression in the rejection of transplanted organs.
