Term Description

This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the CEP 8 SpectrumOrange DNA Probe Kit, which detects AT rich alpha satellite sequences in the centromere region of chromosome 8 in order to identify chromosome 8 copy number. This test is used as an adjunct to routine diagnostic cytogenetic testing involving chromosome 8.

Part Description

LP62864-1   FISH
FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization) is a cytogenetic technique used to detect and localize the presence or absence of specific DNA sequences on chromosomes. FISH uses fluorescent probes that bind to only those parts of the chromosome with which they show a high degree of sequence similarity. Fluorescence microscopy can be used to find out where the fluorescent probe bound to the chromosomes. FISH is often used for finding specific features in DNA for use in genetic counseling, medicine, and species identification. FISH can also be used to detect and localize specific mRNAs within tissue samples. In this context, it can help define the spatial-temporal patterns of gene expression within cells and tissues.
