Measured in DNA terms, a G-band represents several million to 10 ... translocations are often readily apparent on karyotypes. Molecular cytogenetics is a dynamic discipline, and new diagnostic ...
As the field of human cytogenetics emerged ... which produces a signature banding pattern, called G-bands, for each of the 24 different human chromosomes (Drets & Shaw, 1971).
Cytogenetic technologists analyze chromosomes found in biological specimens such as amniotic fluids, bone marrow, and blood to aid in the study, diagnosis, or treatment of genetic diseases.
