that has been labelled either radioactively or with some other detectable molecule,
such as biotin, digoxygenin or fluorescein. As stretches of DNA or RNA with complementary
sequences will hybridize, a probe will label viral plaques, bacterial colonies or
bands on a gel that contain the gene of interest.;
