What Does PRINS Stand For?

PRINS stands for Primed In Situ DNA Synthesis

PRINS, or Primed In Situ DNA Synthesis, is a molecular biology technique that enables the targeted synthesis of DNA sequences directly within fixed cells or tissues. By utilizing specific primers that bind to complementary strands of DNA, PRINS facilitates the localized amplification of nucleic acids, allowing for high-resolution visualization and analysis of genetic material in its native context. This method is valuable for studying gene expression, spatial distribution of DNA, and various cellular processes, contributing to advancements in fields such as genomics, histology, and diagnostics.
