Duncan NRI RNA In Situ Hybridization Core
The RNA In Situ Hybridization Core performs high-throughput non-radioactive RNA (mRNA or miRNA) in situ hybridization (RISH) on tissue sections. A unique high-throughput technology developed by the Core is used to determine gene expression patterns with an emphasis on tissues from rodent experimental models.
Core Services
The Core performs the following:
- Collecting animal tissue specimens
- Preparation of frozen sections
- Preparation of mRNA probes from customer templates
- Conducting high-throughput ISH (chromogenic or fluorescent)
- Cresyl Violet staining
- Imaging using a slide scanner (Ziess Axioscan.Z1 - brightfield and fluorescence)
For human studies, customers must provide tissue sections.
For technical, scheduling or pricing questions, please contact the Core Director.
