Abstract excerpt
The ability to distinguish homologous chromosomes is a powerful cytogenetic tool. However, traditional techniques can only distinguish extreme physical variants and are highly dependent on sample preparation. We have previously reported oligonucleotide probes, specific for human chromosome 17 alpha satellite DNA sequence variants, that distinguish cytogenetically normal homologous chromosomes by FISH. Here we...
