Each chromosome pair viewed in a karyotype appears to have its own distinct "bar code" of bands. What changes do scientists look for in a karyotype when diagnosing diseases and disorders? The process ...

Array-based whole genome investigation or molecular karyotyping enables the genome-wide detection of submicroscopic imbalances. Proof-of-principle experiments have demonstrated that molecular ...

Every expectant parent hopes and prays for a healthy baby. Careful consideration is given towards the well being of the baby by the mother-to-be for the entire duration of 9 months. But there are ...

Genetic abnormalities have been associated with 6 to 13% of stillbirths, but the true prevalence may be higher. Unlike karyotype analysis, microarray analysis does not require live cells, and it ...

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a rare blood cancer that develops in the bone marrow. Karyotyping is a genetic technique doctors use to diagnose CML and choose more effective treatments. Karyotyping ...

Karyotyping is the isolation, staining and visual examination of chromosomes to find chromosomal rearrangements. Karyotyping is used in prenatal diagnosis (particularly amniocentesis for trisomy 21), ...

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – KaryoLogic, a karyotyping services company based in Durham, is teaming up with a French biotechnology company to test and analyze chromosomes in human stem cells. WHAT IS ...

KaryoSeq integrates the power of NGS with traditional karyotyping methods to offer a high-resolution view of the entire genome. The process involves sequencing the DNA to detect even the smallest ...

Genetic abnormalities can cause infertility. In men they can affect sperm production or how the sperm moves from the testicle to the semen. Here are three common genetic tests related to male ...

A new test may be better at detecting potentially harmful genetic changes in children before they are born than current methods, researchers say. The test, called a chromosomal microarray, detected ...
