Digitized Human Chromosome Ideograms are Available on Diskette

Digitized human chromosome ideograms at the 850 band stage are now available in Macintosh and IBM format. You can find an order form in a 1994 issue of Cytogenetics and Cell Genetics.

The following abstract is from the article by Uta Francke in Cytogenetics and Cell Genetics 65:206-219 (1994) titled: Digitized and differentially shaded human chromosome ideograms for genomic applications.

Human chromosome ideograms that depict 850 bands, numbered in agreement with ISCN (1981) nomenclature but based on actual measurements of band sizes and differentiated by five shades of staining intensity, have been digitized using commercially available graphics software. They provide for more accurate estimates of distances within chromosome arms, DNA content of chromosome bands and correlation between cytogenetic, molecular and genetic linkage maps than the standard ISCN ideograms.
