M-Bands or M Banding is a high-resolution chromosome banding technique that finds cryptic chromosomal rearrangements such as inversion, translocation, deletion or duplication at the chromosome level. Banding techniques have a significant role in cytogenetics especially in karyotyping. The whole cytogenetic studies are conducted around chromosomes and to encounter chromosomal anomalies. Many techniques and improvements over …

NOR banding or nucleolar organizing region banding technique stains acrocentric chromosomes efficiently such as 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22. Banding techniques are specialized procedures of chemical treatment and staining using various stains in order to study chromosomes. So far on this blog, we have explained many different banding techniques like GTG banding, QFQ banding, …
