Preparing single-stranded (ss) probes in place of double-stranded (ds) probes to improve the hybridization efficiency and specificity of randomized terminal linker-dependent PCR (RDPCR). Using asymmetric PCR and single-primer PCR to prepare ss probes of extron 7 of p53 gene in rat, then comparing the results hybridized with ss probes and ds probes. Preparation of ss probes by asymmetric PCR and single-primer PCR gets success. Hybridization results showed that the ss probes could get better signals and less noise than ds probes. In comparison with ds probes, the application of ss probes can increase the hybridization sensitivity and specificity of RDPCR.
