The NCBI Probe Database is a public registry of nucleic acid reagents designed for use in a wide variety of biomedical research applications, together with information on reagent distributors, probe effectiveness, and computed sequence similarities.

Basic, well-illustrated tutorials are available by clicking on the links listed on the left-hand bar throughout the Probe Database. These short descriptions of different probe technologies, their uses in research and medicine, and brief synopses of large-scale projects based on probe-generated data are in the public domain for users to download and distribute freely.

We welcome your feedback on the NCBI Probe Database. For comment and questions please contact: probe-admin@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
