FISH (Fluorescence in-situ Hybridization) is a technique that uses fluorescent probes to detect and localize specific DNA sequences on chromosomes. It can identify chromosomal abnormalities, aid in gene mapping, and diagnose diseases. The FISH procedure involves denaturing chromosomes and probes, hybridizing them, fluorescence staining, and examination under a microscope. FISH has advantages like being less labor-intensive than other methods and can detect submicroscopic deletions. It is used for research, prenatal diagnosis of conditions like aneuploidies, and diagnosing diseases such as Down syndrome.
