LGC公司推出新型DNA探针

 
 
包含荧光分子贴附在心脏的短DNA序列能够作为探针，检测基因变异的DNA序列片断。

探针中荧光分子位于中央区域，比其他探针具有更大的优势，因为其它探针信号化学位于DNA探针的末端。

这些新型探针叫做HyBeacon，是由LGC公司(South West London, UK)研制开发的，该公司是一家领先的英国分析诊断产品和服务供应商。
 
DNA Probes Have Medical and Forensic Applications
 
Short DNA sequences that contain a fluorescent molecule attached within the heart of the sequence can act as probes to detect sections of DNA sequence with a genetic variation.

The central location of the fluorescent molecule within the probe has considerable advantages over probes that have their signaling chemistry placed at the end of the DNA probe.

These new probes, called HyBeacon, were developed by LGC, a leading UK provider of analytic and diagnostic products and services (South West London, UK).
