What Techniques are Used to Study Genetic Makeup in Histology?
Several advanced techniques are used to study genetic makeup in histology, including: - In Situ Hybridization: Detects specific DNA or RNA sequences in tissue sections. - Immunohistochemistry: Uses antibodies to detect specific proteins that may be products of genetic expression. - Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): Amplifies DNA sequences to study genetic mutations. - Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): Provides detailed information on genetic variations within tissues.
