Western vs Southern vs Northen blots - mnemonic technique to memorize

A Southern blot (written with a capital “S“ because it is named after the British biologist Edwin Southern) is mainly used for the detection of a specific DNA sequence in a DNA samples. This method involves the transfer of isolated DNA ( usually size separated using electrophoresis) to a filter membrane followed by DNA fragment detection by probe hybridization. The northern blot is used chiefly to study gene expression by detection of RNA or RNA species (like mRNA). The western blot is used to detect specific proteins in a sample by “immunoblotting“. #Mnemonic #Memorization #gellElectrophoresis #NorthernBlotting #SouthenBlotting #westernBlotting #NikolaysGeneticsLessons #SouthernBlotting #southernBlottingAndNorthernBlotting #southernBlotAndNorthernBlot #immunoblottingTechnique #southernAndNorthernBlottingAnimation #southernBlottingShomu #southernBlottingAkLectures #DifferenceBetweenSouthernAndNorthernBlotting #pcr #genetics #GelElectrophoresis #biology #DNA #RNA
