A rapid optimized protocol for downward alkaline Southern blotting of DNA.
A simple and efficient 2.5-h Southern blotting procedure is described that uses 0.4 M NaOH to transfer DNA in a downward direction. The resulting blots give signals that are both sharper and 30% stronger than those obtained by conventional upward-transferred blots.
