Can I use Star*FISH paints in interphase?

Although our paints will give a signal in interphase, there are a number of potential problems which should be borne in mind. Primarily, because the DNA is no longer super-coiled, the signal will be less intense. This will not be the case with centromeres. However, there is also the danger that the area under investigation might be concealed beneath another chromosome. Therefore, we do not recommend the use of our paints in interphase.
