Automation of Identifying Abnormal Chromosomes in M-FISH
نویسنده
چکیده
Chromosome analysis is one of the most essential tasks in clinical research of cell genetics and genetic disease diagnosis. Automatic analysis of chromosomes by computers is very useful but there are many issues yet to address. Karyotyping identifies and displays chromosomes in a standard format. In this paper, a tool has been introduced that identifies abnormal chromosomes. The tool is able to perform operations like detecting missing or extra chromosome, overlapping chromosomes as well as for detecting the existence of ring structure in chromosomes. The inputs for this tool are the metaphase chromosome numbers for which abnormalities have to be checked. The output specifies existence or nonexistence of abnormality along with contour and skeleton images. The performance of the tool is tested on a dataset with abnormal chromosomes, and found to provide satisfactory performance in detecting abnormalities. Keywords— Abnormal Chromosome, M-FISH, Karyotyping, Missing, Extra, Overlap, Ring, Contour Image, Skeleton Image.

The karyotypic characteristics of chub, Squalius cephalus have been investigated by examining metaphase chromosomes spreads obtained from gill and kidney tissues. The fish used in the study were caught with fishing nets from Dumlu Stream, one of the main tributaries of the Karasu River. The live fish were transported to the laboratory, kept in a well aerated aquarium before analysis and then...

In order to identify the sex marker in Mahisefied, Rutilus frisii kutum, samples from 5 male and 5 female fish were collected from the south Caspian Sea. Polymerase chain reaction random amplified polymorphic DNA (PCR-RAPD) was performed using 124 primer sets. All bands were numbered using 1 and 0 scores corresponding to the presence or absence of bands, respectively and data were analyzed usin...

Background: A balanced reciprocal translocation is a structural abnormality, which at least consist of breakage of two non-homologous chromosomes along with pieces exchange and form quadrivalant structure that can produce unbalanced chromosomes during meiosis I and result in a fetus abortion. The aim of the present study is to offer using preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) 24sure array, wh...

Background Selecting the best embryo for transfer, with the highest chance of achieving a vital pregnancy, is a major goal in current in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology. The high rate of embryonic developmental arrest during IVF treatment is one of the limitations in achieving this goal. Chromosomal abnormalities are possibly linked with chromosomal arrest and selection against abnormal fe...

This paper reports on the karyotyping of mullet fish species, Liza klunzingeri, endemic of the Persian Gulf. The metaphase chromosome spreads, obtained from kidney cells of 13 specimens were examined. The diploid chromosome number was found to be 2n=48. The karyotype was discovered to be consisted of 48 acrocentric chromosome pairs. The arm number was determined to be NF=48. The chromosome numb...
