Southern blotting is a laboratory technique used to detect specific DNA sequences in DNA samples. It involves several steps:
Restriction Digestion: DNA from a biological sample (such as blood or tissue) is broken into smaller fragments using restriction enzymes, which cut the DNA at specific sequences.
Electrophoresis: The DNA fragments are separated based on their molecular weights using gel electrophoresis. This process allows smaller fragments to move faster than larger fragments.
Transfer to Membrane: The DNA fragments are transferred from the gel onto a solid membrane, typically a positively charged nylon membrane, using capillary action.
Hybridization: The membrane is then exposed to a DNA probe labeled with a radioactive, fluorescent, or chemical tag. The probe is designed to be complementary to the target DNA sequence, allowing it to bind to the specific DNA fragment on the membrane.
Detection: The bound probe is detected using methods such as X-ray film, phosphorimaging, or chemiluminescent substrates, depending on the type of label used.
Southern blotting is used in various applications, including:
Identifying specific DNA sequences in DNA samples
Studying gene rearrangements and mutations
Analyzing viral and bacterial infections
Forensic analysis and personal identification
Gene mapping and restriction enzyme mapping
Identifying methylated sites in genes.
This technique is named after its inventor, Dr. Edwin Southern, who first published it in 1975.
This is all about southern blotting
Concept: reannealing nucleic acids to identify sequence of interest.
Separates DNA/RNA in an agarose gel, then detects specific bands using probe and hybridization.
Hybridization takes advantage of the ability of a single stranded DNA or RNA molecule to find its complement, even in the presence of large amounts of unrelated DNA.
Allows detection of specific bands (DNA fragments or RNA molecules) that have complementary sequence to the probe.
Size bands and quantify abundance of molecule.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. BLOTTING TEST
What is blotting test?
Introduction to blot test
The procedure of blotting test
Application and type of blot test
3. WHAT IS BLOTTING TEST
blotting is a laboratory technique used to
detect a specific protein in a blood or tissue
sample. The method involves using gel
electrophoresis to separate the sample's
proteins. The separated proteins are transferred
out of the gel to the surface of a membrane.
4. INTRODUCTION TO BLOT TEST
Procedure of blotting test
The blot test is also known as western blot, is a laboratory technique used in detect
specific proteins in a sample.
Brief overview of the steps involved :
1.Sample preparation: The first step is to prepare the samle or analysis,this involves
lysing or breaking open the cells to release the proteins of interest.
2.protein separation:The proteins are then separated based on their size using a
technique called GEL ELECTROPHORESIS. The proteins are loaded onto a gel and an
electric current is applied ,causing the proteins to migrate through the gel.
5. 3. Protein transfer: After separation, the proteins are transferred from the gel onto
a membrane. This is done by placing the membrane on top of the gel and
applying an electric current. The proteins move from the gel onto the membrane,
where they are immobilized.
4. Blocking: The membrane is then blocked with a solution containing a protein,
such as bovine serum albumin, to prevent non-specific binding of the detection
reagents.
5. Primary antibody incubation: The membrane is incubated with a primary
antibody that recognizes the protein of interest. The primary antibody binds to
the protein and forms an antibody-protein complex.
6. . Secondary antibody incubation: The membrane is then incubated with a
secondary antibody that recognizes the primary antibody. The secondary
antibody is conjugated to an enzyme, such as horseradish peroxidase, that
produces a signal when it reacts with a substrate.
7. Signal detection: The enzyme produces a signal that can be visualized
using a variety of detection methods, such as chemiluminescence or
colorimetry. The signal intensity is proportional to the amount of protein
present in the sample.
The blot test is a powerful tool for detecting specific proteins in a
sample, and is commonly used in research and clinical settings
7. Application and type of blot test
Types of Blotting
There are basically 4 types of blotting:
1) Southern blotting
2) Western blotting
3) Northern blotting
4) Eastern blotting
8. 1) Southern blotting
Southern blotting is named after Edward M. Southern. This method is used for
analysis of DNA sequences. It involves the following steps:
• Firstly, large weighted DNA is cut into small fragments by using Restriction
endonucleases.
• Then, these fragments are electrophoresed on separating gel so that they can
separate according to their size.
• If DNA fragments are much larger in size so firstly the gel should be treated
with HCl, causes depurination of DNA fragments.
• After separating these fragments, placed a nitrocellulose sheet over the
separating gel. Apply pressure over the membrane so that proper interaction
can occur between these two.
• After that the membrane is exposed to ultraviolet radiation so that the
fragments are permanently attached to the membrane.
9. • Then the membrane is exposed to hybridization probe. But the DNA
probe is labeled so that it can easily detect, when the molecule is tagged
with a chromogenic dye.
• After hybridization process, excess probe is washed away by using SSC
buffer and it can be visualized on X-ray film with the help of
autoradiography.
Applications
i) It is used in the technique called RFLP (Restriction fragment length
polymorphism) mapping.
ii) Also used in phylogenetic analysis
iii) To identify the gene rearrangements
10. 2) Western blotting
Western blotting is named after W. Neal Burnette. This method is used for detection and
analysis of protein in a given sample [37,38]. It involves the following steps:
• Firstly, isolating the protein from particular sample.
After that beta- mercaptoethanol (BME) and Sodium dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) is added into
the protein suspension [39-41].
• Then, protein- SDS complex is placed on top of the gel in the well. A molecular weight
marker is also loaded in one of the well in order to determine the molecular weight of
other proteins. After that the samples are added in the remaining wells [42].
• Once the samples and markers are loaded then current is passed across the gel.
Protein is pulled down to the positive pole of the well because it is tightly bound to SDS
which is negatively charged. Movement of protein is inversely proportional to its size
[43-45].
• After this step, gel is placed against a membrane and current is passed across the gel
so that all the proteins are transferred onto the membrane [46].
11. Then Immunoblotting has to be done. In this method, firstly block the membrane with non-
specific protein in order to prevent antibody from binding to the membrane where the
protein is not present
After that primary antibody is added to the solution. These antibodies are responsible for
recognizing a specific amino-acid sequence. Then wash it to remove unbound primary
antibody and add secondary antibody
Now these antibodies are conjugated with an enzyme and recognize the primary antibody.
Lastly, another wash is done to remove unbound secondary antibody.
• Here, chemiluminescent substrate is used for detection. The light is being emitted once the
substrate has been added and can be detected with film imager.
Applications:
i) Used in clinical purposes.
ii) Used to detect specific protein in low quantity.
iii) Used to quantifying a gene product [59-61].
12. 3) Northern blotting
Northern blotting is given by Alwine. This method is used to analyse and detection of RNA in
a sample.
• Firstly, extraxt and purify mRNA from the cells.
• Separate these RNA on agarose gels containing formaldehyde as a denaturing agent for the
RNA.
• This gel is immersed in depurination buffer for 5-10 minutes and washed with water.
• Then transfer these RNA fragments onto the carrier membrane i.e aminobenzyloxymethyl
filter paper.
• After transferring the RNA,it is fixed to the membrane by using UV or heat.
• Add DNA labellled probe for hybridization.
Wash off the unbound probe and at the end mRNA-DNA hybrid are then detected by X-ray
film
Applications:
i) Used in screening .
13. 4) Eastern blotting
Eastern blotting is given by Bogdanov. This method is used to identify carbohydrate
epitopes including glycoconjugates and lipids. Mostly blotted proteins after transferring
onto the membrane are analyzed for PTMs by using a probe and hence identify
carbohydrates and lipids. It involves the following steps:
• Firstly, targeted molecules are vertically separated by using gel electrophoresis
• Then, these separated molecules are transferred horizontally on the nitrocellulosic
membrane.
• After that primary antibody is added to the solution. These antibodies are responsible
for recognizing a specific amino-acid sequence. Then wash it to remove unbound
primary antibody and add labelled secondary antibody.
• These labelled probes confirm the molecule of interest.
i) Detection of protein modification.
ii) Used for binding studies by using various ligands [99-100].
iii) Used to purify various phospholipids.
