Preferred Label : rna probes;
MeSH definition : RNA, usually prepared by transcription from cloned DNA, which complements a specific
mRNA or DNA and is generally used for studies of virus genes, distribution of specific
RNA in tissues and cells, integration of viral DNA into genomes, transcription, etc.
Whereas DNA PROBES are preferred for use at a more macroscopic level for detection
of the presence of DNA/RNA from specific species or subspecies, RNA probes are preferred
for genetic studies. Conventional labels for the RNA probe include radioisotope labels
32P and 125I and the chemical label biotin. RNA probes may be further divided by category
into plus-sense RNA probes, minus-sense RNA probes, and antisense RNA probes.;
MeSH synonym : probes, rna; rna gene probes; gene probes, rna; probes, rna gene; RNA Probe; Probe, RNA;
MeSH annotation : usually no qualif: /drug eff /ultrastruct permitted;
