The Need for a Concert of Cytogenomic Methods in Chromosomic Research and Diagnostics
Yiping Wang, Thomas Liehr
Abstract
This review focuses on the experimental methods and technologies of cytogenomics and how they can be combined in the process of chromosomic diagnostics and research. It is stressed that no cytogenomic methods can be comprehensive on their own. The strengths and weaknesses of each method have to be considered. This is especially important in a time where the main stream of human genetics diagnostics is actively proclaiming that high throughput methods are able to replace all other established tests.
