Molecular pathology is the future of pathology.

Overview

Molecular pathology can be divided as follows:

Cytogenetics

Molecular

General:

  • Very small changes.

Techniques:

  • DNA sequencing - RT-PCR.
  • RNA sequencing.

Cytogenetics

General:

  • Large changes (chromosomal).

Techniques:

  • ISH = in situ hybridization.
    • FISH = fluorescent in situ hybridization.
    • SISH = silver in situ hybridization.[1]

World protein databank

I can't help think it is ironic that the protein databank goal is to maintain a free and publicly available archive,[2] yet the announcement is in pay-for-access journal (Nature Structual Biology).[3]

Wnt/beta-catenin pathway

Important in hepatoblastomas.[4]
