Abstract:
In this paper, we describe a specific method for ultrastructural detection of RNA. Our method is based in the bromination "in situ" of uridine residues in the RNA, which allows the detection of brominated RNA with specific antibodies against bromo-deoxyuridine. With this method we can achieve high specificity and resolution, and it can be applied to Epon or acrylic resin embedded material.

RNA-seq
RNA sequencing, or RNA-Seq, is a high-throughput sequencing technology used to study the transcriptome of a cell. Transcriptomics helps to interpret the functional elements of a genome and identify the molecular constituents of an organism. Additionally, it also helps in understanding the development of an organism and the occurrence of diseases.

In-situ Hybridization
In situ hybridization (ISH) is a technique used to detect and localize specific DNA or RNA molecules in cells, tissue, or tissue sections using a labeled probe. The technique was first used in 1969 for the investigation of nucleic acids. It is currently an essential tool in scientific research and clinical settings, especially for diagnostic purposes.
Types of probes and labels
A probe is a complementary strand of DNA or RNA that binds to corresponding nucleotide sequences in a cell. Many...
