Chromosome analysis protocols

Chromosome Analysis Protocols provides clear, step-by-step instructions for all the techniques used in both classical and molecular cytogenetics. The book emphasizes the use of human material, however, most of the techniques are readily applicable to other animal chromosomes. Chapters feature methods used in the preparation of chromosomes from a number of different cell types, and techniques for producing banded chromosomes and analyzing karyotypes.

Numerous molecular techniques for analyzing chromosomes directly at the light-microscope level, and other molecular genetics methods are described in detail by scientists who regularly use them in their laboratories.
