The AGT Cytogenetic Laboratory Manual

The AGT Cytogenetic Laboratory Manual is a comprehensive treatment of cytogenetics laboratory practices. The text presents procedures that are used in the clinical environment and explains the scientific theories behind those procedures. One of the most valuable assets is its rich resource of laboratory-tested protocols that are currently being used in leading laboratories, along with definitions, troubleshooting tables, and practical advice for nearly every area of interest to cytogeneticists. 

This edition will update and expand upon the basic procedural and informational topics found in the previous edition. Enhanced or newly-introduced chapters on general laboratory practices will include quality control, mathematics for the cytogeneticist, safety, laboratory management, laboratory information systems, Internet and library resources, and a special chapter on animal chromosomes for the research and zoo cytogeneticist. The range of topics is thus broad yet comprehensive for the daily routine of a cytogenetic laboratory employee.
