Chromosome Analysis Protocols

The book contains black-and-white illustrations.

Clear, step-by-step instructions provide you with all the techniques used in both classical and molecular cytogenetics. The emphasis is on the use of human material, but the techniques are designed to be readily applicable to other animal chromosomes. Chapters feature methods used in the preparation of chromosomes, in analyzing chromosomes directly at the light-microscope level, and in molecular genetics techniques.
