ISH Probes for DNA and RNA Detection
Description
In situ hybridization (ISH) uses labeled probes to detect and localize specific DNA or RNA molecules in cells, tissues, or tissue sections. The probe is a complementary strand of DNA or RNA that binds to a matching nucleotide sequence in the sample. Since its first use in 1969 for nucleic acid studies, ISH has become an impo...

Transcript
In situ hybridization is a technique used to locate DNA or RNA in cultured cells or in chemically preserved tissue sections.
RNA in situ hybridization is used to monitor where a gene is being expressed by detecting and quantifying the specific mRNA transcripts.
The target mRNAs are detected by single-stranded, com...
