[A histological procedure, which is used for localization of RNA and DNA. Methyl green is a cation, which binds rather specifically to DNA and thus serves as a convenient means of staining nuclei in both fixed material and living cells. Pyronin, a red dye, is fairly specific for RNA with some binding to protein. ( NCI )]
