Quantitative FISH analysis or QFISHing may be useful for differentiation between chromosome loss and chromosomal associations, detection of amplification of chromosomal loci, and/or quantification of chromosomal heteromorphisms (chromosomal DNAs). The latter is applicable to uncovering the parental origin of chromosomes, which is an important FISH application in genome research. In summary, one may acknowledge that QFISHing has a variety of applications in cancer chromosome research. Accordingly, a protocol for this technique is certainly required. Here, QFISHing protocol is described step-by-step.
