RNA ladder
 

hi.....every one .....please i need to know the differences between RNA ladder and DNA ladder. and if i can use one of them instead of other.

Re: RNA ladder
 

The RNA ladder is ordinarily single stranded whereas the DNA ladder is double stranded. Therefore you can't use them interchangeably.
If this wasn't the case I think you would be able to use them interchangeably, though I'm not sure

Re: RNA ladder
 

DNA = Double helix, whereas RNA contains uracil & is single stranded only.

RNA ladders consist of RNA fragments for sizing single-stranded RNA in glyoxal or formaldehyde agarose gels. Life Technologies supplies a wide range of RNA ladders for accurate size and mass estimations (quantitation) of RNA transcripts from 0.1 to 10 kb.[Only registered and activated users can see links.
