Small RNAs were blotted and chemically crosslinked as described previously.62,64 (link) For detection of miRNAs, DNA oligonucleotides were 5´-radio-labeled by T4 Polynucleotide kinase and purified by Sephadex-G50 filtration. Hybridized filters were exposed to phosphor imager plates (Fujifilm) for 5–7 d. Plates were read by the Phosphoimager FLA3000 (Fujifilm, Düsseldorf) and images analyzed with the Multigauge Software (release 3.2).
