Cytogenetics

Overview of Services

The Cytogenetics Core provides a comprehensive menu of cytogenetic tests for human and mouse tissues (for example mouse embryonic stem cells, cancer cell lines, parrafin embedded tissues (FFPE), skin, peripheral blood, buccal cells, bone marrow etc).

The core also provides consultancy on designing projects involving karyotyping, custom FISH probe design, analyses of data from chromosomal microarrays. We also help in performing high resolution genomic scans that provide insight into regions of the genome that are pathogenic in various neoplasms, leading to an understanding of the molecular pathways that play a role in the biology of cancer. We offer consultation and support for clinical trials/studies for which CAP/CLIA certification is needed.
