Description

Karyotype analysis focuses on chromosomes and their number and structure. A karyotype is the direct view of a cell’s chromosomes, and it can reveal chromosomal abnormalities linked to disease.

Chromosomes in a karyotype can be stained with different dyes to create unique banding patterns. These p...
