fluorescent in situ hybridization [flə¦res·ənt in¦sit‚chü ‚hī·brə·də′zā·shən]

(genetics)

A technique in which a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) probe is labeled with a fluorescent dye (that can be visualized under a fluorescent microscope) and then hybridized with target DNA, usually chromosome preparations on a microscopic slide. It is used to precisely map genes to a specific region of a chromosome in prepared karyotype, or can enumerate chromosomes, or can detect chromosomal deletions, translocations, or gene amplifications in cancer cells. Abbreviated FISH.

No references found			Today, such cytogenetic techniques as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and polymerase chain reaction (PRC) can identify the DNA damage within individual cells, offering a much more precise diagnosis of disease-and more effective treatments.
