State
Blotting transfers electrophoresis-separated fragments onto a membrane, then probes them with a labeled sequence; Southern blotting detects DNA, Northern detects RNA.
Show
A labeled probe binds only the membrane fragment complementary to it, revealing whether that sequence is present in the sample.
Watch for
Southern blots DNA and Northern blots RNA — Western blotting, a third technique, probes proteins instead of nucleic acids.
