Northern blotting was performed as described previously (37 (link)). gDNA was used as PCR templates for northern blotting probes. Probes labeled with 32P-dCTP were generated from PCR templates using the Decaprime II kit according to manufacturer's instructions (Invitrogen). RNA samples were run on an agarose-formaldehyde gel and then transferred to a nylon membrane. After hybridization, Northern blots were quantified by densitometry using ImageQuant TL v7.0 (GE). Transcript levels were determined relative to the SCR1 Control. Primers used for making Northern probes are listed in Table S6.
