Traditional banding of metaphase chromosomes allows identification of individual chromosomes and detection of gross chromosomal anomalies and abnormal chromosome structures. Giemsa (G) banding is the older and more familiar nonfluorescent technique that produces characteristic banding patterns. DAPI , a fluorescent DNA stain, produces banding patterns similar to those of G-banding and is much simpler to perform.
