Nonisotopic In Situ Hybridization: Gene Mapping and Cytogenetics
互联网
522
With the advent of nonradioactive probes during the past decade, in situ hybridization has become an immensely valuable tool in the hands of:
| 1. |
Developmental biologists and cell biologists for the detection of mRNA in cells and tissue sections (1 –7 ),
|
| 2. |
Virologists for detection of viral DNA and RNA (8 ), and
|
| 3. |
Molecular cytogeneticists in detecting chromosome aberrations in interphase cells (Interphase Cytogenetics, especially Cancer Genetics, 9 –11 ), sex determination (12 ,13 ), and gene mapping by nonisotopic in situ hybridization (NISH, 14 ,15 ).
