Hybridization probe

ID: hybridization-probe

A hybridization probe is a nucleic acid sequence, typically a DNA or RNA strand, that is used to detect the presence of complementary sequences in a sample. These probes are often used in molecular biology techniques such as PCR (polymerase chain reaction), Southern blotting, Northern blotting, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
