    Southern blotting, Northern blotting, and Western blotting are techniques used to transfer DNA, RNA, and proteins respectively from a gel to a membrane. Southern blotting involves digesting DNA with restriction enzymes, separating fragments via gel electrophoresis, transferring fragments to a membrane, then hybridizing with a probe for detection. Northern blotting similarly separates RNA fragments, while Western blotting separates proteins via gel electrophoresis before transfer and detection. Dot blots do not require electrophoresis and allow direct spotting of samples on a membrane for hybridization and detection. These techniques are used in research, disease diagnosis, and investigating genetic mutations.

    ELECTROPHORESIS

    Electrophoresis - the migration of charged molecules in an electric field though a solution or solid support We can separate DNA and RNA molecules by size using agarose gel electrophoresis

    DNA (or RNA) samples loaded into wells

    BLOTTING TECHNIQUES

    Blotting Transfer of DNA, RNA or Proteins, typically from a electrophoresis gel to a membrane e.g. nitrocellulose. This membrane can then be subject to further techniques such as hybridization. Hybridization Process where two complementary single strands of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) form a double helix.

    BLOTTING TECHNIQUES

    Southernblot for DNA analysis, requires electrophoresis

    Northern blot for RNA analysis, requires electrophoresis Western blot for protein analysis, requires electrophoresis

    Dot blot: no electrophoresis required for DNA/RNA/protein analysis

    SOUTHERN BLOTTING

    SOUTHERN BLOTTING

    Step 1: Digest the dsDNA


    The DNA is isolated & digested with restriction endonucleases. Results in production of dsDNA fragments of varying length depending on location of restriction sites.

    Step y

    2: Run the digest.

    Resulting fragments are separated through agarose gel electrophoresis. Standard DNA size markers should also be run - size of the sample fragments can be estimated Stain with ethidium bromide & visualized under UV light.

    depurination step is optional. y DNA fragments larger than 15kb are difficult to transfer y HCl used to remove the purines, reducing the size of the fragments 3: Denature the DNA The agarose gel is soaked in a basic solution, NaOH. After this , the base is neutralized before proceeding to the membrane transfer

    4: Transfer the denatured DNA to a filter membrane


    Nitrocellulose/nylon filter membranes used. Nylon has higher binding capacity & less fragile. In this, the DNA transfer is achieved by capillary action. Electrotransfer is less common. After this, the filter membrane should be exposed to UV light to cross link the DNA fragments to the membrane.

    12

    Step 5: Hybridization Analysis y A) The membrane is soaked in a prehybridization buffer. prevents nonspecific binding of the probe
    y

    B) It is then exposed hybridization probea single DNA fragment with a specific sequence. Contains a sequence that is complementary to the DNA sequence of interest. If the sequence of interest is present on the membrane, the probe will anneal to this sequence.

    13

    Step 6 Post Hybridization After hybridization, excess probe is washed from the membrane The pattern of hybridization is visualized on Xray film by autoradiography in the case of a radioactive or fluorescent probe, / by development of color if a chromogenic detection method is used.

    Investigation

    Malignant

    The main use is to identity any changes in DNA sequencing or genes expressed, e.g. comparing genes expressed by a diseased cell to genes of an healthy cell. Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) Polymorphism refers to the DNA sequence variation between individuals of a species. If the sequence variation occurs at the restriction sites, it could result in RFLP. example is the RFLP due to globin gene mutation

    DOT BLOTS AND SLOT BLOTS


    Cloned /pure extracted DNAs to be tested are spotted adjacent to each other on a nitrocellulose membrane DNA blots thus produced are immobilized and denatured so that they are bound on membrane as single stranded DNA blots The membrane is then hybridized with a radioactively labelled probe (DNA or RNA). The dot representing sequence related to probe will light up by autoradiography

    ADVANTAGES

    No steps involving digestion with enzyme, gel electrophoresis or transfer from gel to membrane are needed in this technique. Therefore it is more convenient , when no restriction sites are needed to be studied.
