Good content/explanation wise, but in my opinion the article is lacking: References (preferably in-line) and the phrase "First, a probe is constructed" needs to be expanded and much more detail included (i.e. what is a probe? A short little description, like: made from, how big, etc.. should suffice) Also, I have added a diagram that I came across that seemed to be particularly helpful.


Just a comment on the picture showing DNA structure at multiscale. The helix structure showed here is a left helix were the B-DNA structure is a right helix.

Ha, you are right, good eye! Looks like our friends at the NIH need your skills :) [1] - cohesion 01:35, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

This article could be augmented by some good pictures of various FISH techniques and schematics of the techniques. neffk 19:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] title

I would call this term "Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)" Instead of "Fluorescent in situ hybridization" —Preceding unsigned comment added by E.osimo (talkcontribs) 14:16, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
