  3. In situ hybridization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_situ_hybridization

    In situ hybridization (ISH) is a type of hybridization that uses a labeled complementary DNA, RNA or modified nucleic acid strand (i.e., a probe) to localize a specific DNA or RNA sequence in a portion or section of tissue or if the tissue is small enough (e.g., plant seeds, Drosophila embryos), in the entire tissue (whole mount ISH), in cells ...

  4. Fluorescence in situ hybridization - Wikipedia

    In biology, a probe is a single strand of DNA or RNA that is complementary to a nucleotide sequence of interest. RNA probes can be designed for any gene or any sequence within a gene for visualization of mRNA , [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] lncRNA [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] and miRNA in tissues and cells.

  6. In-situ conservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-situ_conservation

    In-situ conservation is the on-site conservation or the conservation of genetic resources in natural populations of plant or animal species, such as forest genetic resources in natural populations of tree species. [1] This process protects the inhabitants and ensures the sustainability of the environment and ecosystem.

  7. In situ bioremediation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_situ_Bioremediation

    In situ is a term utilized within a variety of fields meaning "on site" and refers to the location of an event. [2] Within the context of bioremediation, in situ indicates that the location of the bioremediation has occurred at the site of contamination without the translocation of the polluted materials.

  8. Nucleic acid hybridization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_hybridization

    Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a laboratory method used to detect and locate a DNA sequence, often on a particular chromosome. [4]In the 1960s, researchers Joseph Gall and Mary Lou Pardue found that molecular hybridization could be used to identify the position of DNA sequences in situ (i.e., in their natural positions within a chromosome).

  9. In silico - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_silico

    It was coined in 1987 as an allusion to the Latin phrases in vivo, in vitro, and in situ, which are commonly used in biology (especially systems biology). The latter phrases refer, respectively, to experiments done in living organisms, outside living organisms, and where they are found in nature.
