The National Library of Medicine (NLM), on the campus of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, is the world's largest medical library. The Library collects materials and provides information and research services in all areas of biomedicine and health care.
1) Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a laboratory technique for detecting and locating a specific DNA sequence on a chromosome. The technique relies on exposing chromosomes to a small DNA sequence called a probe that has a fluorescent molecule attached to it. The probe sequence binds to its corresponding sequence on the chromosome.
2) A physical mapping approach that uses fluorescein tags to detect hybridization of probes with metaphase chromosomes and with the less-condensed somatic interphase chromatin.

1) Forcible or traumatic tear or break of an organ or other soft part of the body.
2) The tearing apart of a tissue <rupture of heart muscle> <rupture of an intervertebral disk>.
2) Hernia.

1) Formation and development of a thrombus or blood clot in the blood vessel.
2) The formation or presence of a blood clot inside a blood vessel.

1) Fragment of DNA of predictable size resulting from digestion (cutting) of a strand of DNA by a given restriction enzyme. DNA sequence alterations (mutations) that destroy or create the sites at which a restriction enzyme cuts DNA change the size (and number) of DNA fragments resulting from digestion by a given restriction enzyme.
2) Variation between individuals in DNA fragment sizes cut by specific restriction enzymes; polymorphic sequences that result in RFLPs are used as markers on both physical maps and genetic linkage maps. RFLPs usually are caused by mutation at a cutting site.
3) Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) is a type of polymorphism that results from variation in the DNA sequence recognized by restriction enzymes. These are bacterial enzymes used by scientists to cut DNA molecules at known locations. RFLPs (pronounced "rif lips") are used as markers on genetic maps. Typically, gel electrophoresis is used to visualize RFLPs.
4) Variation in the length of a restriction fragment produced by a specific restriction enzyme acting on DNA from different individuals that usually results from a genetic mutation (as an insertion or deletion) and that may be used as a genetic marker -- called also RFLP.

1) Full gratification of a need or desire followed by a state of relative insensitivity to that particular need or desire.
2) The state or condition reached after totally satisfying a desire or need; e.g., abolition of the desire to eat after full gratification of appetite.
3) The quality or state of being fed or gratified to or beyond capacity.

1) General increase in bulk of a body part or organ due to an increase in cell volume; it is not due to tumor formation, nor to an increase in the number of cells.
2) Abnormal enlargement of a body part or organ.
