| Glossary Term | In situ Hybridization |
| Definition |
In situ Hybridization: A method of detecting the presence of specific nucleic acid sequences within a cytological preparation. A DNA or RNA probe is labeled radioactively or chemically and hybridized to a cytological preparation to detect RNA or to a denatured cytological preparation to detect DNA. The hybridization is detected by autoradiography (for radioactive probes) or by chromogenic reactions or fluorescence (for chemically-labeled probes). See one of the Figures from GXD for an example. See also FISH. |
