Writing a manuscript and mastering abstracts: A GUIDE FOR AUTHORS

How you structure your article can affect how much it gets read—and cited. Each section serves a purpose, and does so in a particular order. In this blog, we’ll take a look at the overall structure that you should follow in your article. And then we’ll focus specifically on the abstract—one of the most important […]

BLOTTING TECHNIQUE

Blotting is used in molecular biology to transfer nucleic acids and proteins from gel to a membrane for identification and analysis. Developed in the 1970s, it combines electrophoresis and immunological methods. There are three main types: Southern (DNA), Northern (RNA), and Western (proteins), each allowing detection and measurement of specific molecules.

WESTERN BLOTTING TECHNIQUE

Western blotting technique or protein immunoblot is used to identify specific proteins separated according to their sizes in an electrophoresis experiment. Protein immunoblot unlike other blotting techniques (e.g. southern and northern blotting) utilizes specific antibodies to identify the protein of interest. It is the transfer of proteins from gel to a matrix or nitrocellulose membrane.

NORTHERN BLOTTING TECHNIQUE

Northern blotting technique is used to detect specific sequences of ribonucleic acid (RNA). The protocol for performing northern blotting technique is similar to that of southern blotting technique. Northern blotting technique was first described by James Alwine and colleagues in 1977 as a molecular biology technique for identifying specific nucleotide sequence of a piece of
