Image: Eprobe, a highly efficient and reliable fluorescent probe for PCR DNA amplification techniques and DNA analysis in hybridization experiments, has been developed by researchers from the Japanese firms RIKEN and K.K. DNAFORM. This technology will enable the development of new, advanced assays for DNA-based genetic testing and help to bring the benefits of genome-wide sequencing studies to patients in the clinic (Photo courtesy of RIKEN).

New Dual-Functional Fluorescent Probe for DNA Hybridization and Melting Point Analysis

Japanese researchers have described a new approach for combining real-time PCR amplification and melting curve analysis in a single-tube reaction, which provides a powerful means for new mutation detection assays. More...
