Talk:Northern blot

Untitled

this page needs some history, and some scientific references. when did western blotting, northern blotting, etc, start? there should be a cited paper for each.

Northern should be written like nortern not Northern because it is not derivated from a name like Southern blotting.

I disagree - the name is a molecular biology joke, and as such it needs to follow the style of "Southern". Hence it should be Northern. If this is not acceptable then it should really be called an RNA blot or similar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.171.207 (talk) 16:50, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Spamming Wikipedia

Biologicalworld.com has spammed wikipedia like no tomorrow. He is a site of only a few pages and a LOT of adsense. Not much information is given except for "protocols" which are not referenced, and cannot be trusted from a site of that quality.

check: Links from Wikipedia

The following have been cleaned up:
