Abstract

During the last decade, numerous chromosome banding techniques based on FISH were developed for the human and for the murine genome. Here we review FISH banding techniques, which were recently defined as “any kind of FISH-technique, which provide the possibility to characterize simultaneously several chromosomal subregions smaller than a chromosome arm” and are DNA specific. FISH banding methods are successfully applied in research and diagnostics.
