Abstract:In the pre‐genomics era, the field of comparative cytogenetics was restricted to the comparison of banded chromosome preparations of the species being studied. The development of molecular biology and subsequent convergence of this field with conventional cytogenetics led to the development of molecular cytogenetics. The application of molecular cytogenetics, in particular multicolour fluorescence
in situ
hybridization (MFISH), has revolutionized our ability to compare genomes at the ch… Show more
