Various types of tissue samples can be used for genetic analysis, including:
- Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) Tissues: Commonly used in histology labs, FFPE tissues preserve morphological details well but can be challenging for nucleic acid extraction. - Fresh Frozen Tissues: These provide higher-quality nucleic acids but are less commonly used due to storage and handling requirements. - Biopsy Samples: Small tissue samples obtained from specific areas of interest, often used for both histological examination and genetic analysis.
