Abstract:
In recent years there has been a large increase in the number of nonradioactive methods of detection of nucleic acids (see Chapter 45). Despite this, the vast majority of laboratories still utilize radioactive labeling. Although it is possible to foresee that in 10-15 years radioactive nucleotides and X-ray film will be unheard of in the laboratory, for now they remain the system of choice.
