Types of Nucleic Acid Probes | Biotechnology

The following points highlight the three types of nucleic acid probes. The probes are: 1. Oligonucleotide Probes 2. DNA Probes 3. RNA Probes. Type # 1. Oligonucleotide Probes: These are synthesized chemically as oligonucleotides based on the information available on the amino acid sequence of the protein of interest. These oligo nucleotides can be used as a probe the identification [...]

Methods of DNA Sequencing | Nucleic Acids

The sequence of a deoxyribonucleic acid DNA molecule can be elucidated using chemical or enzymatic methods. Chemical Method of DNA Sequencing: In 1997, Maxam and Gilbert of Harward University discovered this method. In this method, a DNA fragment to be sequenced is radiolabeled at one end of molecule (Fig. 13.15). After denaturation of DNA into single strand, bases are modified [...]
