DNA probes detect target alleles by hybridizing (binding) to them within a DNA sample; the probe's label makes this binding visible.
DNA probes bind to target alleles in a DNA sample if present. The probe is labeled, allowing for detection of hybridization and thus the presence of the specific allele.

Back | DNA probe will bind to target allele if its present in a sample of DNA DNA probe has a label attached so it can be detected. |
