A bibliometric analysis of nucleic acid probe and its applications in oncology: towards more precise molecular medicine.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nucleic acid probes, which are short sequences of nucleic acids designed to complement specific DNA or RNA targets, have broad applications in biosensing, genetic studies, and various other fields. In tumor diagnosis and treatment, nucleic acid probes offer a precise and accessible approach that is essential for improving patient care and quality of life. Despite substantial research on nucleic acid probes over the past three decades, few comprehensive reviews have retrospectively examined the field.

Methods

This study extracted 30 years of nucleic acid probe-related research articles from the Web of Science Core Collection database. We used CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R tools to systematically analyze the field's current status and developmental trends, with an emp
