Summary Introduction

To review:

The aim of Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) and elucidate the information provided by the ratio of green-to-red fluorescence in determining the chromosome structure.

Introduction:

Chromosome size and structure are important and significant as a small deviation from the normal chromosomesize and structure might contribute to the ill-functioning of an organism. Chromosomal aberrations include deletions, duplication, inversions, and translocations. The various genetic disorders are caused by these deviations which can lead to cancer.
