Sensitive methods for the detection and analysis of RNA molecules are an important aspect of most cell/molecular biology studies. Methods commonly in use include in situ hybridization, Northern gels, dot or slot blots, S-1 nuclease assays, and RNase A protection studies. Detailed descriptions of these techniques can be found in several laboratory manuals (Davis et al. 1986; Ausubel et al. 1987; Berger and Kimmel 1987). The most sensitive of these methods is in situ hybridization, in which 10 to 100 molecules can be detected in a single cell. However, the in situ hybridization method can be technically difficult and does not lend itself to the processing of a large number of samples. With other techniques, the level of detection is about 0.1 to 1.0 pg of the target sequence. For an average-sized mRNA this translates to 105 to 10 target sequence molecules, and for most practical purposes the detection limit has been reached.
