FWD to bionet.maize from MaizeDB (Mary Polacco):
-----------------------------------------------------
I need a good control probe to verify RNA quality and equal loading of
lanes on Northern blots. Some maize gene that is highly and universally
expressed. Actin? tubulin?
I realize that some people just stain the rRNA bands with ethidium as a
control, but I would also like to verify that my hybridization conditions
are reasonable.
Thank you very much,
