Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Fluorescence, in the situ hybridization (FISH) technique, is used to map the location of certain genes. In this technique, the chromosomal deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is first denatured, and then, a probe is added to it. FISH is used for the detection of various diseases such as, phenylketonuria and various cancerous diseases which, are caused by mutation of genes.
