How Do Genetic Techniques Enhance Histological Studies?
Modern genetic techniques such as Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) have revolutionized histological studies. FISH allows for the visualization of specific DNA sequences within tissue sections, while PCR enables the amplification and analysis of genetic material from small tissue samples. These techniques facilitate the diagnosis of genetic disorders and the study of gene expression patterns in tissues.
