Protocol

Labeling of DNA Probes by Polymerase Chain Reaction

Abstract

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) can be used to produce both nonradiolabeled DNA probes and radiolabeled DNA probes with high specific activity. In this protocol, PCR is used to generate double-stranded probes. Related methods, including the generation of asymmetric probes by PCR, are also discussed.
