Dna Complementary Base Sequence Allele Probes Locate Specific

Front How are DNA probes used?
Back - to locate specific alleles of genes

- short single-strand of DNA
- labelled - radioactive/fluorescent
- complementary base sequence to target allele

- DNA sample being tested is heated 
- to break H bonds and separate strands

- DNA probe binds to complementary base sequence by DNA hybridisation
- viweing fluoresence or autoradiography is used to identify allele of gene
