Shinichi TSUNODA Research Center for Glycoscience e-mail: [email protected] AIST Today Vol. 2, No. 12 (2002) 19 In these post-genomic era, the mechanism of various diseases, especially cancer, have been understood at molecular level. As cancer is established to be caused by genetic alterations, it is expected to achieve the accurate diagnosis for each cancer based on the genetic information. Recently, the comparative genomic hybridization method (CGH) was developed, which can detect the chromosomal abnormalities by an imaging technique. CGH has the remarkable advantages that the chromosomal gains and losses in whole genome can be detected by only one hybridization process without probes of known DNA sequences. Therefore, we are focusing on developing the methods for cancer diagnosis by CGH technology.
