 | | A recently developed alternative to karyotyping metaphases with a recognizable banding pattern is to identify the twenty-four different human chromosomes by the simultaneous hybridization of a set of chromosome-specific DNA probes, each labeled with a different combination of fluorescent dyes. |
 | | The method of claim 2, further comprising, identifying interchromosomal and intrachromosomal rearrangements in a chromosome in the karyotype by comparing the discrete colour bands on the chromosome to a colour ideogram representing the colour banding profile exhibited by a representative model chromosome. |
 | | The method of claim 2, further comprising, identifying recurrent abnormalities throughout a number of cells by comparing the colour bands amona a plurality of chromosomes, with the plurality of chromosomes all being the same class of chromosome, with each chromosome taken from different cells. |
