ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:


This experiment introduces your students to Southern blotting as a tool for "DNA Fingerprinting" in a hypothetical paternity determination. DNA fragments are first separated by agarose gel electrophoresis, then transferred to a nylon membrane and finally visualized by staining.

• Explore genetics and Southern blotting while solving a paternity case
• Run electrophoresis on four DNA samples pre-digested with a restriction enzyme
• Visualize the results using a modified Southern blot
• Analyze DNA RFLP patterns from mother, child, and potential fathers to resolve the case
• Our modified southern blot procedure is fast, safe, and designed for the classroom
