How is recombinant DNA technology helping in detecting the presence of mutant genes in cancer patients?

Answer»
  • A single-stranded DNA or RNA is tagged with a radioactive molecule and used as a probe.
  • It is allowed to hybridize with its complementary DNA in a clone of cells,followed by detection using autoradiography.
  • The clone having the mutant gene will not appear on the photographic film, because the probe will not be complementary with the mutated gene.
