| Definitions |
The use of multiple, differentially colored fluorescently-labeled probes (usu. fosmids, cosmids, or BACs) hybridized to a chromosome spread to detect copy number and position of target loci. Advantages: gives unambiuous relative positional information, can detect balanced and unbalanced translocations. Disadvantages: very low resolution, low throughput, labor intensive. |
