Which of the following is NOT the dye-based chromosome banding?

Cytogenetics is a branch of genetics and cell biology that studies the relationship between chromosomes and cell behavior. It involves the microscopic analysis of chromosomes in individual cells.  Cytogenetics examines the structure and properties of chromosomes, and how they behave during mitosis and meiosis. It also studies how chromosomes influence phenotype.  Cytogenetic testing involves examining chromosomes to identify abnormalities, such as aneuploidy and structural abnormalities. Changes in chromosomes can be a sign of a genetic disease or condition.  Cytogenetics involves the use... Show more

Cytogenetics is a branch of genetics and cell biology that studies the relationship between chromosomes and cell behavior. It involves the microscopic analysis of chromosomes in individual cells. 

Cytogenetics examines the structure and properties of chromosomes, and how they behave during mitosis and meiosis. It also studies how chromosomes influence phenotype. 
Cytogenetic testing involves examining chromosomes to identify abnormalities, such as aneuploidy and structural abnormalities. Changes in chromosomes can be a sign of a genetic disease or condition. 

Cytogenetics involves the use of various staining techniques to identify the 23 pairs of chromosomes. 
These techniques include:
Giemsa banding (G-banding)
Quinacrine banding (Q-banding)
Reverse banding (R-banding)
Constitutive heterochromatin (or centromere) banding (C-banding)
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) 

Cytogenetics has been a key part of biology since 1842. German anatomist Walther Flemming (1843-1905) is considered a founder of the science of cytogenetics.
