Primer-induced in situ hybridization to plant chromosomes
Genome
|October 1, 1993
Abstract:
Primer-induced in situ hybridization of high copy sequences was used successfully on rye mitotic chromosome spreads. Nucleolus organizer sequences were detected in rye, and the pattern obtained was in full agreement with previously reported results by conventional in situ hybridization. The future potential of the primer-induced in situ hybridization technique is briefly discussed.

02:31In-situ Hybridization
In situ hybridization (ISH) is a technique used to detect and localize specific DNA or RNA molecules in cells, tissue, or tissue sections using a labeled probe. The technique was first used in 1969 for the investigation of nucleic acids. It is currently an essential tool in scientific research and clinical settings, especially for diagnostic purposes.

02:07FISH - Fluorescent In-situ Hybridization
Fluorescence in situ hybridization, or FISH, was developed in the early 1980s and has quickly become one of the most widely used techniques in cytogenetics. Labeled probes are used to bind complementary DNA or RNA sequences on a chromosome or in a region within a cell. Earlier, the probes could only be obtained by cloning or reverse transcription of a DNA template. Currently, the probe oligonucleotides can be synthesized synthetically. Additionally, with the advancement of optical techniques,...
