Southern Blotting ()
A technique called Southern blotting
combines gel electrophoresis of DNA
fragments with nucleic acid hybridization
Specific DNA fragments can be identified by
Southern blotting, using labeled probes that
hybridize to the DNA immobilized on a blot of
gel

Environmental Cleanup
Genetic engineering can be used to modify the
metabolism of microorganisms
Some modified microorganisms can be used
to extract minerals from the environment or
degrade potentially toxic waste materials
Biofuels make use of crops such as corn,
soybeans, and cassava () to replace fossil
fuels
48
Agricultural Applications
DNA technology is being used to improve
agricultural productivity and food quality
Genetic engineering of transgenic animals
speeds up the selective breeding process
Beneficial genes can be transferred between
varieties of species
