Protocol for RNA labeling by in vitro transcription of DNA with DIG, Biotin or Fluorescein RNA Labeling Mix. A PCR fragment that has the appropriate promoter ligated to its 5’-ends can also serve as a transcription template. The procedure described incorporates one modified nucleotide (DIG-, Biotin-, or Fluorescein-UTP) at approximately every 20 – 25th position in the transcripts.
