A Gene Probe is a term used to label several techniques used to identify a Gene Loci. a gene probe is often a piece of genetic material, that mirrors the target gene, and is also 'tagged' with dye so it can be identified.

What happens after a probe DNA is inserted into a patient's genome?

Once the probe DNA is inserted into a patient's genome, it will integrate with the host cell's DNA. The inserted DNA can potentially correct genetic mutations or provide therapeutic benefits by producing the desired protein. Monitoring the patient for any adverse effects or changes in gene expression is crucial post-insertion.

How does recombinant DNA technology identify the position of a gene on a chromosome?

A probe may be used, a probe is a specific sequence of DNA tracked by using fluorescent dye. This probe, whose base pairs are known, can be added to another set of DNA. where this probe attaches (seen by adding fluorescent dye to probe), the DNA is seen to be complimentary. These probes have the ability to bond to single complementary strands of DNA from samples. This can be used to determine which chromosome and specific position on the chromosome is complimentary to the known probe DNA. this technique is important to identify abnormal gene sequences, by using thes abnormal probes to test for such genes which may be detrimental to human health. see: http://www.hsc.csu.edu.au/biology/options/genetics/3060/genetics_974.html
