The most recent BIS yearbook contains an article on Fluorescent In Situ
Hybridization by Dr. Yoong Lim.
The FISH method uses unzipped DNA. The complete genomic code of an
undetermined species can be introduced to one or more fluorescent strands of
a known species. If any of these strands find their compliment, they zip
together.
The illustrations are as intriguing as the article.
