FISH Probes Applications

FISH Probes Applications

Probes for fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) are derived from repetitive chromosomal regions to paint a chromosome or are directed towards unique gene(s) for identification. These probes are usually developed from clones (BAC and cosmids) and more recently synthesized chemically as oligonucleotides appropriately labeled with fluorescent dyes. The oligo probes can be synthesized as tiles or longer sequences up to 250mer in length by Gene Link.
