What is Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH)?
Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) is a molecular cytogenetic technique that uses fluorescent probes to detect and localize the presence or absence of specific DNA sequences on chromosomes. This method allows for the identification of genetic abnormalities, including chromosomal translocations, deletions, and duplications, which are often associated with various diseases such as cancer and genetic disorders.
