Whole-mount single molecule FISH method for zebrafish embryo
Noise in gene expression renders cells more adaptable to changing environment by imposing phenotypic and functional heterogeneity on genetically identical individual cells. Hence, quantitative measurement of noise in gene expression is essential for the study of biological processes in cells. Currently, there are two complementary methods for quantitatively measuring noise in gene expression at...
متن کاملDOP-PCR amplification of probe DNA for whole-mount FISH in Drosophila.
It is sometimes useful to amplify DNA before labeling it. Degenerate oligonucleotide primed-polymerase chain reaction (DOP-PCR) allows amplification of any complex DNA, regardless of sequence. DOP-PCR is performed using a single primer that has a fixed sequence at its 5' end and several degenerate bases near its 3' end that allow it to anneal at low stringency to many sites in complex DNA. Foll...
متن کاملFormaldehyde fixation of Drosophila tissues onto slides for whole-mount FISH.
This protocol describes the formaldehyde fixation of Drosophila tissues other than egg chambers. It provides a general approach to fixing tissue or cells onto microscope slides in a manner compatible with whole-mount fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis. The procedure includes a simple formaldehyde fixation in buffer, followed by postfixation in cold ethanol. Postfixation of the ti...
متن کاملHybridization to tissues on slides or coverslips for whole-mount FISH in Drosophila.
Many Drosophila tissues (other than embryos or egg chambers) are too large, delicate, transparent, or buoyant for manipulation in suspension. Tissues such as spermatocytes, spermatids, and imaginal disks are difficult to handle in suspension and are more appropriately fixed on slides or coverslips for whole-mount fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). As described in this protocol, the hybri...
متن کاملDouble labeling with fluorescence in situ hybridization in Drosophila whole-mount embryos.
Previously, we described a technique for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in whole-mount Drosophila embryos using fluoresceinlabeled RNA probes (2). This technique provides several advantages over conventional alkaline phosphatasebased detection methods. For example, a fluorescent label is nondiffusible and so allows higher-resolution imaging. Furthermore, it allows the use of confocal...
