Under strictly controlled conditions, a probe can be used that will hybridize only with its complementary sequence and not with other sequences that may vary by as little as one nucleotide. What are such probes called?
A) allele -specific oligonucleotides (ASOs)
B) generation -specific probes
C) microsatellites
D) VNTRs
E) short, variable repeats

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allele-specific oligonucleotides (ASOs) are short DNA probes that can hybridize with a specific DNA sequence, allowing them to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or small genetic variations.
