What are the Advantages of Using Oligonucleotide Probes?
The use of oligonucleotide probes in histology offers several advantages:
- High Specificity: They can be designed to target very specific nucleotide sequences, reducing the likelihood of non-specific binding. - Sensitivity: Probes can be labelled with highly sensitive markers, making it possible to detect even low-abundance nucleic acids. - Versatility: They can be used in a variety of applications, from basic research to clinical diagnostics.
