What Techniques are Used to Study DNA in Histology?
Several advanced techniques are used to study DNA in histology. In Situ Hybridization (ISH) allows for the localization of specific DNA or RNA sequences within tissue sections. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) can amplify small amounts of DNA to detectable levels, making it useful for genetic analysis. Additionally, Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) uses fluorescent probes to detect specific DNA sequences, allowing for visualization under a fluorescence microscope.
