What Techniques Are Used for DNA Analysis in Histology?
Several techniques are employed for DNA analysis within the context of histology:
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): Amplifies specific DNA sequences, making it easier to study small amounts of DNA extracted from tissue samples. Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH): Uses fluorescent probes to detect and localize specific DNA sequences on chromosomes. Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): Provides comprehensive sequencing data, allowing for the identification of mutations, gene expression profiles, and other genetic alterations in tissue samples.
