Chromosome banding as revealed by different staining techniques
Different chromosomal staining techniques reveal variations in chromosome structure. Cytogeneticists use these patterns to recognize the differences between chromosomes and enable them to link different disease phenotypes to chromosomal abnormalities. Giemsa banding (a), Q-banding (b), R-banding (c) and C-banding (d) are shown.
