the branch of genetics that studies the structure and function of chromosomes using microscopic and molecular techniques
- Cytogenetics involves analyzing chromosomal abnormalities in patients with genetic disorders.
- Advances in cytogenetics have improved our understanding of cancer biology.
- The cytogenetics lab conducted a karyotype analysis to detect chromosomal anomalies.
- Researchers in cytogenetics use fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) to identify specific DNA sequences.
- Cytogenetics has been instrumental in diagnosing conditions like Down syndrome and Turner syndrome.
