Molecular Cytogenetics: Methods and Protocols - Bog

The branch of genetics, which studies how chromosomes relate to cell behavior and their behavior during mitosis and meiosis, is known as cytogenetics. Molecular cytogenetics is a field involving the combination of cytogenetics and molecular biology. It uses several reagents and focuses on identifying and distinguishing normal and cancer-causing cells. It acts as a vital tool for the treatment of malignancies like brain tumors and hematological malignancies. It includes techniques and methods, like fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of molecular cytogenetics. From theories to research to practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to this field have been included in it. This book aims to equip students and experts with the advanced topics and upcoming concepts in this area.
