The probe in our telomere experiment was labeled with digoxigenin. What are the advantages of using digoxigenin as the reporter group for labeling DNA probes? Circle all correct answers. a. Digoxigenin-labeled probes are very stable. b. The Digoxigenin reporter group does not change the structure of DNA molecules. c. Digoxigenin is a small molecule with high antigenicity. Therefore, the preparation of antibodies is very efficient. d. Digoxigenin is a toxic molecule and is difficult to dispose of. e. DIG probes are about 10 x more sensitive than radioactive probes. f. All of the above
