Protocol

Mapping RNA with Nuclease S1

Abstract

This protocol provides details for nuclease S1 mapping of mRNA using a uniformly labeled, single-stranded DNA probe. DNA–RNA hybrids are generated, which are subsequently digested with nuclease S1. The digestion products are separated using gel electrophoresis and analyzed by radiography.
