Abstract excerpt
The differentiation of homologous chromosomes as well as their parental origin can presently be conducted and determined exclusively by molecular genetic methods using microsatellite or SNP analysis. Only in exceptional cases is a distinction on a single-cell level possible, e.g. due to variations within the heterochromatic regions of chromosomes 1, 9, 16 and Y or the p-arms of the acrocentric chromosomes. In the...
