Human Cytogenetics: Constitutional Analysis, A Practical Approach, 3rd ed. |
General description
This covers all basic aspects of human cytogenetic study other than malignancies and abnormalities. Since the 2nd edition, the largest new development has been the transition of fluorescence in situ hybridization to an essential tool for cytogenetecists. Its use in chromosome analysis is covered in detail. Another new technology described in detail is computerised image analysis. Conventional techniques have not been forgotten, with chapters on chromosome staining and banding techniques and meiotic studies. New authors take a fresh look at lymphocyte culture and prenatal diagnosis
