FIGURE 13-5 The two principal technologies for visualizing where a gene is transcribed
or where the protein that it encodes is expressed are (left) in situ hybridization of
complementary RNA probe to MRNA and (right) immunolocalization of protein expression.
The procedures for each method are outlined. Expression patterns may be visualized as the
product of an enzymatic reaction or of a chromogenic substrate or with fluorescently labeled
compounds.
