Sequence-specific Oligonucleotide Probe Polymerase Chain Reaction

**Semantic type:** Laboratory Procedure

**Definition:** A modified polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique that uses distinct probes, specifically synthesized according to the polymorphic region sequence of the gene of interest, to detect nucleotide differences during genotype testing.

**Synonyms:** - PCR-SSOP - SEQUENCE-SPECIFIC OLIGONUCLEOTIDE PROBE POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION
