A summary on Cytogenetics

Cytogenetics is a subfield of genetics that focuses on closely examining cells and chromosomes. The grouping and counting of chromosomes, as well as an examination of their structures, numerical variations, and associated conditions, are all included in chromosomal studies. It has to do with how the chromosomes behave during the meiotic and mitotic phases. Chromosome research requires a variety of methods. Karyotyping and banding methods are examples of traditional cytogenetic techniques. Utilising cutting-edge instruments, molecular cytogenetic methods identify chromosomal abnormalities. The techniques FISH, Array-CGH, and many more aid in the study of chromosomes.
