What Techniques are Used for Genetic Profiling in Histology?

Several advanced techniques are employed for genetic profiling in histology:
- Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): This technique amplifies small segments of DNA, making it easier to study specific genetic markers.
- Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): NGS allows for the comprehensive sequencing of entire genomes or targeted regions, providing high-resolution data on genetic variations.
- Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH): FISH is used to detect and localize the presence or absence of specific DNA sequences on chromosomes.
- Microarray Analysis: This method helps in examining the expression of thousands of genes simultaneously to identify gene activation patterns.
