Abstract
We developed a novel chromosome banding technique-spectral colour banding (SCAN). With this technique we displayed a multicolour banding pattern that almost entirely correlated with the corresponding G-banding pattern. With SCAN analysis we could identify the chromosome-band origin of double minute chromosomes in gastric cancer. Our preliminary use of this technique suggests that it has significant clinical applications for cytogenetic analysis.
