Protocol for detection of in vitro R-loop formation using dot blots.

ABSTRACT: Dot-blot analysis is a technique that allows for fast and convenient detection and identification of nucleic acids and proteins. Here, we provide a guide for nucleic acid isolation from eukaryotic cells and sample processing to detect RNA/DNA hybrids. We then provide detailed steps to quantify dot signal intensity. This protocol can be adapted for screening conditions that result in the accumulation of R-loops. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Smith et al.¹.
