ASO Probes are Used for the Molecular Testing Of

Question

ASO probes are used for the molecular testing of
A)chromosomal rearrangements.
B)single nucleotide changes in a DNA region.
C)RFLP fragments in a DNA region.
D)defective proteins implicated in disease.
E)successfully cloned Ti plasmids.

Accepted Answer

ASO (Allele-Specific Oligonucleotide) probes are designed to hybridize specifically to DNA sequences with particular single nucleotide changes, making them useful for identifying specific mutations or polymorphisms in a DNA region.
