PG - 13-31 LID - 10.1007/978-1-61779-074-4_3 [doi] AB - A robust procedure for performing fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is described, with tips for troubleshooting. FISH probes are now more reliable and there is a greater range commercially available. FISH is an essential part of the cytogeneticist's repertoire. It remains a powerful, complementary adjunct to karyotype studies, and knowledge of the underlying chromosome abnormalities can be essential for understanding the FISH signal patterns.
