An Algorithm for the Selection of Probes for Specific Detection of Human Disease Pathogens Using the DNA Microarray Technology.

Unlabelled: was to develop an algorithm for the selection of discriminating probes to identify a wide range of causative agents of human infectious diseases.

Materials And Methods: The algorithm for selecting the probes was implemented in the form of the disprose (DIScrimination PRObe SElection) computer program written in the R language. Additionally, third-party software was used: the BLAST+ and ViennaRNA Package programs.
