Electrophoretic Karyotyping

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 2))

Abstract

The determination of chromosome number and sizes is called karyotyping. For a variety of organisms, karyotyping has been performed by cytological investigations. However, this technique is of very limited use for fungi due to the small size of fungal chromosomes.
