摘要

The genome and its regulatory elements undergo complex spatial and conformational changes during the establishment of cellular identity. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probes the spatial organization of the genome at the single-cell level, but the detection of small genomic loci remains difficult. Here, we highlight recent developments in FISH methodologies that enable the detection of small genomic regions with improved sensitivity and specificity. With these advancements, researchers can now explore the spatial dynamics of regulatory elements in development and disease.
