释义 | Southern blottingSouthern blotting[′sə·th·ərn ‚bläd·iŋ]Southern blottingSouthern blottingA method of identifying a fragment of DNA containing a specific sequence of bases. A mixture of fragments, produced by cutting DNA with restriction enzymes, is separated on a gel block by ELECTROPHORESIS. The fragments are denatured to single strand DNA and transferred, by blotting, to a nitrocellulose sheet. The position of the desired fragment can then be shown by hybridizing it with a DNA probe labelled with radioactive phosphorous that will cause a black line on an X-ray film. The method was named after its developer Edward M. Southern. A similar technique for RNA analysis has been humorously called ‘Northern blotting’ and the play on words has been extended to include ‘WESTERN BLOTTING’.Southern transferorSouthern blottinga method of transferring BANDS of DNA, separated by GEL ELECTROPHORESIS, to a membrane support. The technique is named after E. Southern, who devised it. Compare NORTHERN TRANSFER. |
