Date:2/1/2008

ve probe that specifically targets RNA molecules from a gene of interest. The staining pattern is then detected by microscopy. Scientists can analyze this staining pattern in a variety of tissue samples at different stages in development to gain a better understanding of the function of that gene. The method can be used to study virtually any plant species and will be useful to many biologists.
