The sheet is immersed in a solution containing a labeled probe that will hybridize to fragment(s) of interest. The method was first devised by E. M. Southern to transfer DNA fragments from an agarose gel to a nitrocellulose paper for hybridization, but similar transfer methods are now also used for transfering RNA or protein to papers of a variety of types followed by hybridization (RNA) or labeled antibody treatment (protein) to identify specific molecules.

Bio Term Thymine dimer is See pyrimidine dimer.
