How are Genetic and Epigenetic Factors Studied in Histology?
In histology, genetic and epigenetic factors are studied through various techniques such as immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and next-generation sequencing. These methods allow researchers to visualize gene expression and epigenetic modifications within the context of tissue architecture. For example, immunohistochemistry can be used to detect the presence of specific proteins resulting from gene expression, while DNA methylation patterns can be studied through bisulfite sequencing.
