please welcome the chicken DT40 cell line chromosomes.
Picture taken by Kliszczak M.(NUIG)
What you can see here is a methaphase spread where macrochromosomes are visible (chromosome pairs 1, 3, 4, 5, signle sex chromosome Z and trisomic chromosome 2). Rest of the chromosomes appear as a blurry spots.
Metaphase spreads of this kind are investigated in search form any abnormalities like: chromosome breaks, chromosome loss or gain and many more.
I hope you enjoy:)
Till Next Time NUIG:)
