Karyotyping Analysis

SKY analysis courtesy of NCI

G-banding performed by Cancer Genetics Inc.

G-banding performed by Cell Line Genetics

  • BG02 at p33 was normal
  • BG03 at p81 was normal
  • ES02 at p49 was normal
  • ES04 at p76 was normal
  • ES05 at p45 was normal
  • SA01 at p24 was normal
  • TE06 at p74 was normal
  • UC01 at p46 was normal; fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed to detect small populations of trisomy 12 and/or 17, and they were found to be normal for this also
  • UC06 at p78 was normal
  • WA07 at p66 was normal
  • WA14 at p33 was normal
  • WA13 at p10+24 was normal

Middle image: hES chromosome were stained with dapi, which used to compare within chromosomes and banding. Right image: Presentation of spectrabased classification colors. Bottom image: Karyotype of the SKY analysis from a normal female hES cell.
