Importance of Metaphase Chromosomes in Karyotyping

Metaphase chromosomes are often known as metaphase plates or “meta’s” only in technical terms, have significant importance in genetic research, especially in cytogenetics and karyotyping studies.  Techniques like conventional karyotyping, FISH- fluorescence in situ hybridization and SKY highly rely on metaphases. And therefore good, well-separated and sharper metaphases have been the objective first achieved. Although …
