What Techniques are Commonly Used in Cytogenetics?
Several techniques are commonly employed in cytogenetics, including:
G-banding: Staining chromosomes with Giemsa dye to produce a banding pattern for karyotyping. FISH: Using fluorescent probes to detect specific DNA sequences on chromosomes. Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH): Comparing DNA samples to identify copy number variations. Spectral Karyotyping (SKY): Using multiple fluorescent dyes to visualize all chromosomes in different colors.
