Summary Introduction
To review:
The distinction between northern and Southern blot.
Introduction:
The examination of specific genes can be done using classic molecular techniques like northern and Southern blot. These techniques are able to detect the expression level of genes. They utilize probe molecules that hybridize with specific target molecules like DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid).
