Capillary electrophoretic system of ribonucleic acid molecules

Abstract: Over the past two decades, capillary electrophoresis (CE) has been the subject of extensive development and progress in various DNA based sieving electrophoresis applications, namely Sanger sequencing, forensic short tandem repeat (STR) analysis, clinical genotype screening (SNP), and phylogenetic fingerprinting. Yet, this trend has not been emulated in the RNA field. This review will highlight the development and key analysis parameters of RNA electrophoresis by CE and provide possible explanations for the low research interest in this area.
