In DNA fingerprinting involving Southern blot hybridisation using radiolabelled VNTR as a probe, the correct chronology of steps between isolation of DNA [first step] and detection of hybridised DNA fragments by autoradiography [last step] is:
| 1. |
separation of DNA fragments by electrophoresis → digestion of DNA by restriction endonucleases → transferring (blotting) of separated DNA fragments to synthetic membranes, such as nitrocellulose or nylon → hybridisation using labelled VNTR probe |
| 2. |
digestion of DNA by restriction endonucleases →separation of DNA fragments by electrophoresis → transferring (blotting) of separated DNA fragments to synthetic membranes, such as nitrocellulose or nylon → hybridisation using labelled VNTR probe |
| 3. |
separation of DNA fragments by electrophoresis → digestion of DNA by restriction endonucleases → hybridisation using labelled VNTR probe → transferring (blotting) of separated DNA fragments to synthetic membranes, such as nitrocellulose or nylon |
| 4. |
digestion of DNA by restriction endonucleases →separation of DNA fragments by electrophoresis → hybridisation using labelled VNTR probe → transferring (blotting) of separated DNA fragments to synthetic membranes, such as nitrocellulose or nylon |
