Standard Making in Cytogenetics: the Manufacture, Circulation and Reproduction of Chromosome Images by Santesmases María Jesús

“…Human genetics as a history of images and the skills of drawing, making photo(micro) graphs and diagrams, developed through a reference drawn on the basis of the consensus reached by a small group of early human cytogeneticists in Denver in 1960. Schemes and idealizations, as well as the fully realistic transposition of the contours and interiors of each chromosome, participated in the emergence of a particular, specific and enduring way of representing the tiny parts of the cell where division began, and accounting for both the forms and function of chromosomes at the origins of medical genetics.…”

Chromosome Abnormalities and Fertility in Domestic Bovids: A Review by Alessandra Iannuzzi, Pietro Parma, Leopoldo Iannuzzi

“…The advent of chromosome banding and FISH-mapping techniques with specific molecular markers (or chromosome-painting probes) has led to the development of powerful tools for cytogeneticists in their daily work. With these tools, they can identify the chromosomes involved in abnormalities, even when the banding pattern resolution is low (as has been the case in many published papers, especially in the past). …”

IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMMERCIAL MODEL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR KARYOTYPING by D Borri, RK Kishimoto, MFMD Santos, RO Safranauskas, MG Cordeiro, AAC Coimbra, GSE Silva, JL Silva, E Velloso, JG Silva

“…The development of image (metaphases) capture systems and software for karyotyping had a great impact on the routine of cytogenetic laboratories, and recently artificial intelligence (deep neural networks, DNN) has helped in the correct segmentation and chromosome classification, allowing the performance of karyotypes more quickly, with final supervision by experienced cytogeneticists. Some systems using AI are commercially available and our objective was to validate and implement one of these models in our laboratory and measure its productivity. …”
