In the advancement of molecular biology techniques, several probe-based techniques, like molecular beacon probe (MBP) assay, TaqMan probe, and minor groove binder (MGB) probe assay, have been reported to identify specific sequences through real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). All probe-based methods are more sensitive than the conventional PCR for the detection and quantification of target genes. MBP is a hydrolysis probe that emits fluorescence when getting the specific sequences on the gene. Here, we describe the application of MBP for the identification of the motif sequences present in the promoters of differentially expressed genes.
