  2. Fluorescence in situ hybridization - Wikipedia

    Human chromosomes painted with DNA from mouse chromosome 11 showing hybridization signals on human chromosomes 17, 5, 2, 7, and 22 and some other chromosomes. That is, an ancestral chromosome broke up into multiple fragments that can still be found in many human chromosomes. [32] FISH can be used to study the evolution of chromosomes. Species ...

  3. Q-FISH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-FISH

    Another adaptation that utilizes PNAs and FISH is known as CO-FISH (Chromosome Orientation-FISH) which allows for the labelling of chromosomes with PNAs in a strand specific manner. This method involves the selective removal of newly replicated strands of DNA (through the use of BrdU incorporation), resulting in only single stranded target DNA ...

  4. Flow-FISH - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow-FISH

    Flow-FISH is most commonly used to quantify the length of telomeres, which are stretches of repetitious DNA (hexameric TTAGGG repeats) at the distal ends of chromosomes [4] in human white blood cells, and a semi-automated method for doing so was published in Nature Protocols. [1]

  5. Molecular cytogenetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_cytogenetics

    FISH chromosome in-situ hybridization allows the study cytogenetics in pre- and postnatal samples and is also widely used in cytogenetic testing for cancer. While cytogenetics is the study of chromosomes and their structure, cytogenetic testing involves the analysis of cells in the blood, tissue, bone marrow, or fluid to identify changes in ...

    Several chromosome-banding techniques are used in cytogenetics laboratories. Quinacrine banding (Q-banding) was the first staining method used to produce specific banding patterns. This method requires a fluorescence microscope and is no longer as widely used as Giemsa banding (G-banding). Reverse banding, or R-banding, requires heat treatment ...

  7. Chromogenic in situ hybridization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromogenic_in_situ...

    Probe design for CISH is very similar to that for FISH with differences only in labelling and detection. FISH probes are generally labelled with a variety of different fluorescent tags and can only be detected under a fluorescence microscope, [4] whereas CISH probes are labelled with biotin or digoxigenin [5] and can be detected using a bright-field microscope after other treatment steps have ...

  8. Comparative genomic hybridization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparative_genomic...

    As of 2006, even high-resolution CGH arrays are accurate to detect structural variations (SV) at resolution of 200 bp. [16] This method allows one to identify new recurrent chromosome changes such as microdeletions and duplications in human conditions such as cancer and birth defects due to chromosome aberrations. Figure 2.

  9. Physical mapping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_mapping

    An example of high resolution FISH mapping using stretched chromatin is extended chromatin fiber (ECF) FISH. The method suggests the order of desired regions on the DNA sequence by analyzing the partial overlaps and gaps between yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs). [4] Eventually, the linear sequence of the interested DNA regions could be ...
