DNA fragments with specific sequences are detected by a technique known as:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Southern blotting is a technique used to detect specific DNA sequences through hybridization with a labeled probe. This technique involves digesting DNA with a restriction enzyme, separating the fragments by gel electrophoresis, transferring the fragments to a membrane, then hybridizing the membrane with a labeled probe that is complementary to the target sequence. The labeled probe will bind to the target sequence, allowing for detection and visualization of the fragment of interest.
