Southern Blot02:57

Southern Blot

22.3K
Agarose gel electrophoresis is very useful in separating DNA fragments by size. Running a DNA ladder containing fragments of the known length alongside the sample helps determine the approximate length of the sample DNA fragments. However, additional steps are needed to verify the sequence identity of the sample DNA fragments.
Denatured DNA fragments must be transferred onto a carrier membrane from the gel to make it accessible to a probe - a small ssDNA fragment complementary to the target DNA...

Labeling DNA Probes

9.2K
DNA probes are fragments of DNA labeled with a reporter tag to enable their detection or purification. The resulting labeled DNA probes can then hybridize to target nucleic acid sequences through complementary base-pairing, and may be used to recover or identify these regions.
Radioisotopes, fluorophores, or small molecule binding partners like biotin or digoxigenin, are the most widely used reporter tags for labeling DNA probes. These labels can be attached to the probe DNA molecule via...

  • To enable delayed measurement of hybridization and probe signals.
  • To reduce the need for complex equipment at sample collection sites.

Main Methods:

  • Nucleic acid samples are blotted onto a DNA probe-functionalized electrode.
  • Hybridization signal is measured post-blotting.
  • Probe DNA signal is measured after melting the hybrid.
  • A two-step electrochemical measurement strategy is employed.

Main Results:

  • The developed sensing scheme demonstrates resilience to probe layer deterioration.
  • Successive measurement of post-hybridization and probe DNA signals is feasible.
  • The method eliminates the need for immediate probe signal measurement before sample collection.

Conclusions:
