How is Epigenetic Inheritance Studied in Histology?
Histologists use various techniques to study epigenetic modifications. Immunohistochemistry and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) are commonly used to detect specific histone modifications. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and methylation-specific PCR are employed to study DNA methylation patterns. These techniques allow researchers to visualize and quantify epigenetic changes within tissues.
