GTG-Banding (G-bands by Trypsin using Giemsa) for karyotyping

09/21/2020

GTG banding also is known as the Giemsa-trypsin-Giemsa banding technique is employed during karyotyping to investigate chromosomes and chromosomal anomalies. Chromosomal anomalies like structural aberrations or numerical aberrations are commonly encountered using different types of banding techniques. GTG banding, R-banding, NOR-banding and Q- banding are popular techniques used routinely. However, the GTG banding technique used […]

10 best karyotyping activities and assignments

09/17/2020

Karyotyping is a technique not only to culture the chromosomes but also one has to arrange it and interpret results by themself. Therefore one must have to learn the technique of karyotyping as well as how to arrange and interpret the chromosomes. Understanding karyotyping and karyotype preparation is hard but not impossible if we learn

The Procedure of Fetal Karyotyping

08/27/2020

The fetal karyotyping is performed in order to evaluate the chromosomal abnormalities associated with the fetus. or When a karyotype test is performed using fetal tissue (by amniocentesis) with an objective to rule out various chromosomal conditions before birth, the whole technique is known as a fetus or fetal karyotyping. The most trusted, versatile and

Comparison Between Karyotyping and Microarray

08/24/2020

A karyotyping is a conventional cytogenetic technique that visualizes the chromosomes whilst the microarray is a molecular cytogenetic technique that analyses the chromosomes. The cytogenetic techniques rely on the study of chromosomes either structure or numbers. Changes in any of the properties of chromosomes create phenotypic variation. For instance, we humans have 23 pairs of

Why are we use Pre-chilled Slides in karyotyping?

08/20/2020

The pre-chilled slides burst chromosomes faster during the karyotyping. If you are here, trust me you haven’t found any sustancial answer for why the ‘the pre-chilled’ slides? I can imagine that you want to optimize your karyotyping protocol rather than performing it, which means you are not looking for steps and procedures of how the

Which Cell Division Phase is Best for Karyotyping?

08/17/2020

Karyotyping is a process of seeing chromosomes in order to know abnormalities related to it. The metaphase chromosomes are most separatable and visible. Abnormalities in DNA or chromosomes can cause severe mental, physical or developmental disabilities. In order to find out the alteration related to chromosomes, we have to perform the cytogenetic analysis while to
