    Soon after the introduction of the Southern blotting procedure (
    1
    ), an analogous technique, known as northern blotting, was developed for the analysis of RNA sequences (
    2
    ). Both procedures rely on the annealing (hybridization) of complementary single-stranded nucleic acid molecules under suitable conditions (
    3
    ). Nucleic acids separated by size using agarose gel electrophoresis are transferred onto a solid support (membrane) and hybridized to complementary radiolabeled nucleic acid sequences. Whereas in Southern blotting experiments,
    DNA
    is transferred from a gel to a membrane and hybridized (
    see
    Chapter 13 , this volume), in northern blotting it is RNA that is fractionated, immobilized on a membrane, and hybridized to a probe.
