Combining chromosomal arm status and significantly aberrant genomic locations reveals new cancer subtypes [PDF]
Many types of tumors exhibit chromosomal losses or gains, as well as local amplifications and deletions. Within any given tumor type, sample specific amplifications and deletionsare also observed.

Insect Sex Determination Manipulated by Their Endosymbionts: Incidences, Mechanisms and Implications
The sex-determining systems of arthropods are surprisingly diverse. Some species have male or female heterogametic sex chromosomes while other species do not have sex chromosomes.

Prenatal Diagnosis and Pregnancy Outcome Analysis of High-risk Fetuses Suggested by Noninvasive Prenatal Screening [PDF]
Background Noninvasive prenatal screening is more effective in screening for fetal aneuploidy than does traditional serological screening. We attempted to analyze the real-world data about the positive predictive value (PPV) for chromosome aneuploidy ...

Molecular cytotaxonomy of primates by chromosomal in situ suppression hybridization [PDF]
A new strategy for analyzing chromosomal evolution in primates is presented using chromosomal in situ suppression (CISS) hybridization. Biotin-labeled DNA libraries from flow-sorted human chromosomes are hybridized to chromosome preparations of ...

Seven-fluorochrome mouse M-FISH for high-resolution analysis of interchromosomal rearrangements [PDF]
The mouse has evolved to be the primary mammalian genetic model organism. Important applications include the modeling of human cancer and cloning experiments. In both settings, a detailed analysis of the mouse genome is essential.

Classical and molecular cytogenetic studies in some cattle breeds
Numerical autosome aberrations have a few importance in the animal breeding since the carriers show generally abnormal body conformation. For this reason, these abnormalities are systematically eliminated from the animal population by the breeders during
