generally, RT-pcr is the most sensitive assay to RNA, although sometimes
it cause pseudo positive.
However, RT-PCR can't detect isoforms, or alternative splicing products.
And because of its pseudo positive.
a northern is necessary.
However, S1 mapping of nuclease protection assay is roughly 20 fold more
sensitive than northern. Although these two methods also can't give
you the information of the full length or some isoforms' information.
