Hello,

I do in-vivo gain-of-function studies with Drosophila microRNAs. I have mutated the seed sequence of a particular microRNA gene and have made transgenic flies that express that mutated transcript. Of course, the transcript doesn't exactly make the same stem-loop structure as its parent. Therefore, the Dicer-1 cutting site might be different or none!  

Can RT-PCR (with specific primers) tell me if  that putative mutated microRNA exist?

Any input is highly appreciated!
