This document discusses karyotyping and its applications. It begins with an overview of cytogenetics and the history of karyotyping. It then describes the different types of karyotyping including classic and digital karyotyping. The methodology section explains the process of karyotyping including chromosome staining techniques like Q-, G-, N-, and C-banding. Finally, the applications of karyotyping are discussed, such as detecting chromosomal abnormalities, aneuploidies, and genetic disorders. Karyotyping provides a genome-wide view of an individual's chromosomes and is useful for clinical diagnosis and research.
