The 18S and 28S ribosomal RNA bands are clearly visible in the intact RNA sample. The degraded RNA appears as a lower molecular weight smear. Generally, at least 200 ng of RNA must be loaded onto a denaturing agarose gel in order to be visualized with ethidium bromide.

While crisp 28S and 18S rRNA bands are indicative of intact RNA, it is less clear how these long-lived and abundant molecules actually reflect the quality of the underlying mRNA population, which turns over much more rapidly.

2016年8月1日 · These are the bands from ribosomal RNAs28S, 18S, 5.8S and 5S which are always prominent in an (eukaryotic) RNA extraction. 5.8 and 5S RNA are smalles one and run at 250bp (check that) and are...

Intact total RNA run on a denaturing gel will have sharp, clear 28S and 18S rRNA bands (eukaryotic samples). The 28S rRNA band should be approximately twice as intense as the 18S rRNA band (Figure 1, lane 3). This 2:1 ratio (28S:18S) is a good indication that the RNA is completely intact.

In eukaryotic RNA, three distinct bands on gel electrophoresis signify high-quality RNA: 28S rRNA (approximately 4.8kb), 18S rRNA (around 2.0kb), and 5.8S/5S RNA. Transfer RNAs may or may not be visible. Smeared bands or a 28S:18S ratio below 2:1 indicate poor RNA quality.

It is may be tRNA bands, so you need more purity to your samples. The bottom band is tRNA. It is usually the brightest one in total RNA preps resolved on agarose gels. The next one, which is...

NEB offers several RNA markers and ladders as gel electrophoresis sizing standards for single-stranded and double-stranded RNA, featuring double intensity reference bands and recommendations for RNA species, gel types, handling, and staining.

When assessing the quality of RNA by gel electrophoresis, the presence of three distinct bands suggests high quality RNA. For eukaryotic RNA, the top band represents 28S ribosomal RNA (rRNA), which runs at ∼4.8 kb; the middle band represents 18S rRNA at ∼2.0 kb; and the third band represents 5.8S (154 nt) and 5S (117 nt) RNA.

Researchers expect to find in their RNA gels two bands, each corresponding to one subunit of rRNA. Then, the hypothesis is, if rRNA subunits look ok and are not smeared, mRNA will also be intact.
