DNA footprinting is a molecular biology technique used to study the interactions between proteins and DNA. The primary goal of this technique is to identify specific regions of DNA that are bound by proteins, such as transcription factors, which can regulate gene expression. The process of DNA footprinting involves the following steps: 1. **Labeling DNA**: The DNA fragment of interest is typically labeled at one end with a radioactive or fluorescent tag for detection.
