Several techniques are employed in genetic screening, including:
- Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): Amplifies specific DNA sequences for detailed study. - Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH): Identifies and locates specific DNA sequences on chromosomes. - Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): Provides comprehensive analysis of the genome, transcriptome, or epigenome.
These techniques can be used in conjunction with histological staining methods to provide a more comprehensive understanding of tissue pathology.
