Aqua FISH

Aqua FISH, or Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization, is a laboratory technique used to detect and locate specific DNA or RNA sequences within cells or tissue samples. It involves applying a fluorescently labeled probe that binds to its matching genetic sequence. Under a special microscope, these probes glow, allowing scientists to visualize genetic material with high precision. Aqua FISH is valuable in diagnosing genetic disorders, detecting cancer mutations, and studying chromosomal abnormalities, providing detailed insights into an organism’s genetic makeup in a clear and accurate manner.
