About this work
Description
Human chromosomes at metaphase, highlighted by
fluorescent probes that bind to specific base
sequences on the DNA. This cell has a
translocation between the X chromosome and a
chromosome 13 (X;13). The cosmid probe from the
XIST region (red) has not been disrupted by the Xq
break point. The use of such probes can help to
determine the break-points in the translocation.
