title: Southern transfer of native DNA using nylon membranes.
abstract: Transfer of native or denatured DNA from gels or filter manifolds was compared using nylon or nitrocellulose membranes. The results were comparable when denatured DNA was used, but only nylon membranes were able to retain native DNA. Although retention of the native DNA was less efficient the bound DNA could be rapidly denatured in situ, avoiding the need to soak gels in alkaline denaturation solution and neutralizing buffer.
