DIG Oligonucleotide Tailing Kit, 2nd generation

Uses

DIG Oligonucleotide Tailing Kit, 2nd generation has been used to label oligonucleotide probes in:

• northern blot assay
• in situ hybridization (ISH)
• fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)

In addition to common hybridization techniques, DIG-labeled oligonucleotides are especially useful for screening expression libraries for sequence-specific DNA binding proteins, for example, transcription factors.

General Description

This product is designed as a safer chemical.? The DIG System was established as a sensitive and cost-effective alternative to using radioactivity for the labeling and detection of nucleic acids. There are many available publications that prove the versatility of the DIG System, so use of radio-labeling is no longer the only option for labeling of DNA for hybridization.
