use of DNA probe technology

Another possibility is the use of DNA probe technology.
This utilises the tendency of two complementary singlestranded
DNA molecules to anneal together to produce a
double-stranded duplex. This method involves the DNA under
investigation being immobilised onto a solid support such as
nylon. A labelled single-stranded DNA probe may then be used
to determine whether a specific sequence is present. This
technique is often referred to as forward dot-blotting.
