why are probes used in dna fingerprinting
In conventional DNA fingerprinting, hypervariable and repetitive sequences (minisatellite or microsatellite DNA) are detected with hybridization probes.As demonstrated here, these probes can be used as single primers in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to generate individual fingerprints.n conventional DNA fingerprinting, hypervariable and repetitive sequences (minisatellite or microsatellite DNA) are detected with hybridization probes.
