From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Colony hybridization is the process analyzing a certain genetic sequence of DNA, RNA, Proteins, Antibodies, Enzymes, [1] or bacteria colonies. [2] Hybridization has high specificity which allows it to find a specific sequence, even when it is surrounded by similar sequences. [1]

Process

  1. A cell culture is grown until it has a minimum of 50 colonies. [3]
  2. A sample of the culture is transferred onto nylon [3] or nitrocellulose [1] sheet.
