What Techniques Do Molecular Biologists Use in Histology?
Some key techniques used by molecular biologists in histological studies include:
- Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH): This technique allows for the localization of specific DNA sequences within tissue sections. - Western Blotting: Used to detect specific proteins within tissue extracts. - Quantitative PCR (qPCR): Enables the quantification of gene expression levels in tissue samples. - RNA sequencing (RNA-seq): Provides a comprehensive analysis of the transcriptome, revealing gene expression patterns in tissues.
