Gene probes.
Gene probes are used in virtually all disciplines of the life sciences. Probes will probably have their greatest impact in health care when used as diagnostic tools to detect and identify micro-organisms responsible for infectious disease. This review will use development of gene probes for the clinical laboratory as a theme and review recent patents and publications which have nurtured probe development.
