molecular pathology

What are the Common Techniques Used in Molecular Pathology?


Several techniques are commonly employed in molecular pathology, including:
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): Amplifies DNA sequences to detect genetic mutations or infections.
Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH): Used to identify and localize specific DNA sequences on chromosomes.
Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS): Enables comprehensive analysis of multiple genes simultaneously, identifying mutations associated with various conditions.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Detects specific proteins in tissue samples, which can be indicative of certain cancers.
