probeBase is a curated database of rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes and primers.

Search
Search probeBase for target organisms, probe names, primers, target sites, references, etc.  

Match
Match rRNA sequence(s) against probeBase and find all published probes targeting your sequence(s).  

Proxy 
Match partial rRNA sequence(s) against full-length sequences in SILVA and find published probes potentially targeting your sequence(s).

Lists
View lists of probes (according to probe categories), primers, microarrays, references, etc.  

Submission
The form for submitting new probes or primers is currently disabled and will become available again shortly.

This is a completely new implementation of probeBase including a new database architecture and environment to accommodate computationally efficient access and improved search and sequence match functions. The previous version of probeBase is still available at www.microbial-ecology.net/probebase_old.
