Different aspects of cytogenetics, such as the molecular structure of eukaryotic chromosomes, computerized analyses of chromosomes, evolution of karyotypes, chromosomes and cancer, chromosomes in genetic toxicology, and chromosomal aberrations (- induction, - in human populations, - in human eggs and sperm) are comprehensively covered in this book. New techniques and approaches accompany overviews of all the different aspects of eukaryotic chromosomes. Especially the combination of recent research data with the application of their results in modern medicine makes the book invaluable to researchers as well as to clinicians.
