(PRWEB) February 19, 2013 Research and Markets has announced the
addition of Jain PharmaBiotech's new report "Cytogenetics -
Technologies, Markets and Companies" to their offering. This
report deals with cytogenetics in a broader sense rather than
the classical use mainly to describe the chromosome structure
and identify abnormalities related to disease. In the age of
molecular biology, it is also referred to as molecular
cytogenetics. Historical landmarks in the evolution of
cytogenetics are reviewed since the first images of chromosomes
were made in 1879. The scope of cytogenetics includes several
technologies besides fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH),
comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), and multicolor FISH.
Molecular cytogenetics includes application of
nanobiotechnology, microarrays, real-time polymerase chain
reaction (PCR), in vivo imaging, and single molecule detection.
Bioinformatics is described briefly as it plays an important
role in analyzing data from many of these technologies. FISH
