Abstract
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique using chromosome specific probes has revolutionized the field of radiation cytogenetics in the last few years. Some of the new insights on the origins of radiation induced chromosome aberrations in human, mouse and Chinese hamster, using FISH are reviewed in this paper.
