Given the high-throughput nature of GenomeFISH, its superior sensitivity, and its phylogenetic resolution, we hope it will become widely used for the visualisation of complex microbial communities.

It also enables GenomeFISH to reach superior signal intensities compared to traditional FISH, allowing it to visualise microbial lineages that are challenging to visualise with traditional FISH, such as members of the Patescibacteria.

As a result, GenomeFISH can distinguish between strains with up to 99% ANI in mock communities and environmental samples.

By targeting the entire genome, GenomeFISH overcomes the inherent limitations of traditional FISH, circumventing the need for probe design and optimisation, while increasing sensitivity and specificity.

GenomeFISH probes can be rapidly generated from single cell genomes obtained from environmental and clinical samples, which are amplified, fragmented, fluorescently labelled, and hybridised to visualise the target microorganism in situ.

GenomeFISH is an innovative, genome-based FISH approach that couples high-throughput single-cell genomics with whole-genome hybridisation to visualise microbial communities.
