      Southern Blotting In molecular biology, a Southern blot is a technique for detecting a specific DNA sequence in DNA samples. Southern blotting is a technique that involves transferring electrophoresis-separated DNA fragments to a filter membrane and then using probe hybridization to detect the fragments.A Southern blot is a laboratory technique for detecting specific DNA molecules among a large number of others. Edward Southern, the technique's creator, was given the name. Southern blotting is a technique for detecting DNA in a sample. Southern Blotting is an example of DNA finger printing. Paternity testing, criminal identification, and victim identification are some of the applications. To isolate and identify the desired geneFuture possibilities Overall, Southern blotting is a useful tool for diagnosing and studying diseases (like fragile X syndrome and sickle cell anaemia) as well as analysing DNA for other purposes (such as forensic and paternity testing).
