Download or read book The AGT Cytogenetics Laboratory Manual written by Marilyn S. Arsham and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-03-03 with total page 1220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cytogenetics is the study of chromosome morphology, structure, pathology, function, and behavior. The field has evolved to embrace molecular cytogenetic changes, now termed cytogenomics. Cytogeneticists utilize an assortment of procedures to investigate the full complement of chromosomes and/or a targeted region within a specific chromosome in metaphase or interphase. Tools include routine analysis of G-banded chromosomes, specialized stains that address specific chromosomal structures, and molecular probes, such as fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and chromosome microarray analysis, which employ a variety of methods to highlight a region as small as a single, specific genetic sequence under investigation. The AGT Cytogenetics Laboratory Manual, Fourth Edition offers a comprehensive description of the diagnostic tests offered by the clinical laboratory and explains the science behind them. One of the most valuable assets is its rich compilation of laboratory-tested protocols currently being used in leading laboratories, along with practical advice for nearly every area of interest to cytogeneticists. In addition to covering essential topics that have been the backbone of cytogenetics for over 60 years, such as the basic components of a cell, use of a microscope, human tissue processing for cytogenetic analysis (prenatal, constitutional, and neoplastic), laboratory safety, and the mechanisms behind chromosome rearrangement and aneuploidy, this edition introduces new and expanded chapters by experts in the field. Some of these new topics include a unique collection of chromosome heteromorphisms; clinical examples of genomic imprinting; an example-driven overview of chromosomal microarray; mathematics specifically geared for the cytogeneticist; usage of ISCN’s cytogenetic language to describe chromosome changes; tips for laboratory management; examples of laboratory information systems; a collection of internet and library resources; and a special chapter on animal chromosomes for the research and zoo cytogeneticist. The range of topics is thus broad yet comprehensive, offering the student a resource that teaches the procedures performed in the cytogenetics laboratory environment, and the laboratory professional with a peer-reviewed reference that explores the basis of each of these procedures. This makes it a useful resource for researchers, clinicians, and lab professionals, as well as students in a university or medical school setting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cytogenetic Laboratory Management Cytogenetic Laboratory Management Chromosomal, FISH and Microarray-Based Best Practices and Procedures Cytogenetic Laboratory Management: Chromosomal, FISH and Microarray-Based Best Practices and Procedures is a practical guide that describes how to develop and implement best practice processes and procedures in the genetic laboratory setting. The text first describes good laboratory practices, including quality management, design control of tests, and FDA guidelines for laboratory-developed tests, and preclinical validation study designs. The second focus of the book is on best practices for staffing and training, including cost of testing, staffing requirements, process improvement using Six Sigma techniques, training and competency guidelines, and complete training programs for cytogenetic and molecular genetic technologists. The third part of the text provides stepwise standard operating procedures for chromosomal, FISH and microarray-based tests, including preanalytic, analytic, and postanalytic steps in testing, which are divided into categories by specimen type and test type. All three sections of the book include example worksheets, procedures, and other illustrative examples that can be downloaded from the Wiley website to be used directly without having to develop prototypes in your laboratory.

Download or read book Human Cytogenetics written by Denise E. Rooney and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2001 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of molecular technologies has lead to a rapid acceleration in the cytogenetic study of malignancy and acquired abnormalities. As well as having a chapter devoted to molecular technologies (FISH, PRINS, and CGH), molecular methodology is emphasized in all chapters, for example the role of CGH in solid tumour cytogenetics. Classical techniques are not forgotten, with a detailed description of the preparation and analysis of chromosomes from bone marrow and leukaemic blood. This is followed by three chapters on the specific methodology for the cytogenetic study of myeloid leukaemia, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, and lymphomas and lymphoproliferative disorders. Also covered are chromosome instability syndromes, mutagen-induced chromosome damage in lymphocytes and the role of cytogenetics in the assessment of haematological disorders. This book will be invaluable to any scientists using cytogenetics to study malignancy and along with its sister volume Human Cytogenetics: Constitutional Analysis will be an essential purchase for any cytogenetics laboratory. The volumes are available individually or as a set.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This laboratory guide, intended for undergraduate and postgraduate students, includes techniques and their protocols ranging from microscopy to in vitro protein synthesis. Experiments relating to chromosomes study and identifying the phases of cell division are explained. The book lucidly deals with the extraction and characteri-zation of chromatin and techniques for studying its modifications, the gene methodology for identification of mutation and the methodology for isolation of nucleic acids from all types of organisms, such as viruses, fungi, plants and animals. All the protocols have been explained following step-by-step method. Different types of electrophoresis and their techniques, including blotting techniques and the methodology for stripping of probes from membranes for reusing the blot, have also been dealt with. Protocols on modern molecular biology techniques—PCR, restriction enzyme digest, DNA isolation, cloning and DNA sequencing—add weightage to the book. It also gives necessary knowledge of different types of stains, staining techniques, buffers, reagents and media used in the protocols. To help students prepare for answering viva voce questions, the book includes MCQs based on the discussed techniques.
