Nucleic Acid Probes: Dna/Rna Detection
Nucleic acid probes are short, labeled DNA or RNA sequences used to detect and identify specific target sequences. They are designed to hybridize to complementary sequences through base pairing. Probes can be labeled with fluorescent dyes, radioactive isotopes, or enzymes for detection. Applications include diagnostics (disease detection), forensics (DNA fingerprinting), and research (gene expression analysis)….
