What is Southern Blot?

The Southern blot is a molecular biology technique used to detect specific DNA sequences within a DNA sample. It involves separating DNA fragments by gel electrophoresis, transferring them to a membrane, and then probing the membrane with a labeled DNA or RNA probe that is complementary to the target sequence. It is commonly used to detect gene copy number, gene rearrangements, and DNA methylation.
