  • METHODS FOR HIGH RESOLUTION SPECTRAL CHROMOSOME BANDING TO DETECT CHROMOSOMAL ABNORMALITIES
    Publication number: 20220315999
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for the detection of structural variations and/or repair events in chromosomes by labeling of single-stranded chromatids with probes, which in illustrative embodiments are of different colors. The hybridization pattern of the labeled probes produces a spectral pattern that provides high-resolution detection of structural variations and/or repair events, which for example can facilitate distinction of benign structural variations from deleterious structural variations. Further, the spectral pattern provides information regarding complex structural variations where more than one rearrangement of chromosomal segments may have occurred. Spectral information can be used to generate data tables upon which nodal analysis can be applied to identify structural features of interest.
