1. A probe comprising:
a target binding domain and a barcode domain;
wherein the target binding domain is at least 12 nucleotides in length;
wherein the barcode domain comprises a synthetic backbone, the barcode domain comprising at least two attachment positions, each attachment position comprising at least one attachment region comprising at least one nucleic acid sequence that hybridizes to a complementary nucleic acid molecule, and wherein the synthetic backbone comprises L-DNA,
wherein each of the at least two attachment positions has a different nucleic acid sequence,
wherein the at least two attachment positions correspond to the sequence of the target binding domain,
wherein said nucleic acid sequence of each position of the at least two attachment positions determines the identity of the target nucleic acid that is bound by said target binding domain, and
wherein each nucleotide of the at least one nucleic acid sequence of each attachment region is L-DNA.
