title = "Localization of Long Noncoding RNA in Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Vascular Tissue Using In Situ Hybridization",
abstract = "In situ hybridization (ISH) is a technique for the detection of the location of RNA within a tissue of interest. This process uses oligonucleotides with complementary sequences to bind to the target RNA, and colorimetric detection to allow for the visualization of this binding. The process of ISH means that the specific location of the RNA in question can be detected, including in which cell types it is present, and the intracellular location. In the case of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), which do not lead to the production of proteins, ISH is essential for tissue localization. Moreover, RNA abundance is often lower than for protein-coding genes, thus necessitating enhanced detection through double-digoxigenin (DIG) labeling of the probes. Here, we describe the theory and practicalities of performing ISH for lncRNA, with particular reference to vascular tissues.",
