Mechanisms of induction of chromosomal aberrations and their detection by fluorescence in situ hybridization

Mutat Res. 1996 Dec;372(2):247-58. doi: 10.1016/s0027-5107(96)00144-3.

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.
