FISH Parameters[edit]

Back to Calendar

As discussed yesterday, I'm going to explore several options in the FISH protocol for potential avenues. Dr. Zhang recommended yesterday that I use 96 well plates, like Hosuk, to explore these spaces. For now, since I've got the cells, I'm going to use the Mattek dishes, but especially with option 1 there is room to explore the space. Today I'm testing the protocol using low stringency conditions for #1, and if that yields noisy signal, as expected, then the best thing to do will be to explore the parameter space using various concentrations of formamide, for which I'll use a 96 well plate.
