Material Detail

Karyotyping simulation and tutorial. This set of links provides a tutorial that takes the user through a basic introduction to macro chromosome structure and the karyotyping process. Following the tutorial there are simulations that allow the user to complete partially completed karyotypes and make a diagnosis. Currently there are 2 normal karyotypes (1 male and 1 female) and 5 abnormal karyptypes (3 aneupolidies, a fragile site and a deletion) to work with. Links allow users to compare their results against a limited list of diagnoses and the correct diagnosis links to additional information about the abnormality/syndrome. Some of the tutorial portions may run painfully slow on older computers but the karyotype simulations will work fine.
