a list of up to 10 suggestions will popup under the textbox. Use the arrow keys

allow you to toggle between having all search items start with or contain the text
you entered in the search box.

A laboratory technique used to look at genes or chromosomes in cells and tissues. Pieces of DNA that contain a fluorescent dye are made in the laboratory and added to cells or tissues on a glass slide. When these pieces of DNA bind to specific genes or areas of chromosomes on the slide, they light up when viewed under a microscope with a special light. Also called fluorescence in situ hybridization.
