Image of the Month
Image: Multicolor FISH (mFish) Analysis of Interchromosomal Rearrangement. Melanoma cells were synchronized at metaphase and subjected to mFISH, in which each chromosome is labeled with an unique color combination by mixing five fluorochromes: aqua, green, orange, red and near-infrared. Translocations appear as distinct color changes on individual chromosomes, allowing precise detection of interchromosomal rearrangements.
