Invitrogen
Cy5 is a widely used fluorescent dye in molecular biology research, specifically for gene targeting and labeling applications. It belongs to the cyanine dye family and emits in the red region of the electromagnetic spectrum when excited by an appropriate light source. Cy5 is commonly employed in techniques such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), microarray analysis, and real-time PCR. By attaching Cy5 to gene-specific probes or primers, researchers can visualize and quantify gene expression levels, identify genomic locations, and study DNA/RNA interactions. Cy5's strong signal, high photostability, and compatibility with various imaging systems make it a valuable tool in molecular biology, facilitating the investigation of gene function and regulation.
