Grössenmarker für elektrophoretische Analyse von DNS

摘要

A DNA marker ladder, useful in Southern blot hybridizations, is made up of pooled DNA restriction endonuclease digests, where each restriction digest contains at least one fragment complementary to a probe and at least one fragment not complementary to the probe. The regions of complementarity between the probe and the complementary fragments are double-stranded segments of the fragments. The ladder is characterized by an approximately even spacing of bands, resulting from choosing fragments having an logarithmic size distribution. Kits can incorporate this ladder and a probe, or means for making a probe, or a probe and a means for labelling a probe.
