  • Enhanced multiplex fish
    Patent number: 11866769
    Abstract: Subject of the present invention is a combination of nucleic acid molecules capable of hybridizing with a target nucleic acid sequence. In order to overcome problems with the reproducibility of FISH assays and to decrease assay time, hairpin probes are used in combination with helper probes annealing adjacent to the target site of the hairpin probe.
