- It might seem apparant that, in many insects and fish the male is smaller than the female person. FISH is a laboratory technique (i.e., technic) 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 (i.e., crossbreeding) (i.e., in situ nucleic acid hybridization).
