Etymology

[edit]

Playful extension from Southern blot analysis, which is eponymous, named after Edwin M. Southern. When other similar techniques were developed soon afterward, they were named Western and Northern in a tongue-in-cheek fashion. The origin from the surname Southern means that all the terms are often capitalised.
