Students will develop an understanding of general cytogenetic laboratory methods, sample requirements and set up, timing, harvesting, slide preparation and analysis. Under the supervision of a technologist, students will perform and complete chromosome analysis on a sample of their own blood (students may request use of another specimen if they wish). Observation of molecular cytogenetic techniques will provide students with an understanding of the process necessary to perform fluorescence in-situ hybridization analysis (FISH).
