Emerging Opportunities in In Situ Hybridization
This article was originally published in Start Up
Executive Summary
In-situ hybridization (ISH) is a powerful method of genetic testing. But it has not yet found a place in the clinical laboratory. In addition to technical, patent and regulatory obstacles, participants will confront a fragmented market composed currently of high-priced, low-volume tests. Many scientists believe ISH will have an important role in the clinical laboratory, while others see it mostly as an interim technology likely to be superseded by easier-to-use DNA chips.
