Multicolor Banding = MCB/ m-band and multitude MCB = mMCB in human

This technique is based on changing fluorescence intensity ratios along the chromosomes, which are used to assign different pseudo-colours to specific chromosomal regions and allows the differentiation of chromosome region specific areas at the band and sub-band level. The MCB technique provides moreover the possibility to analyse chromosomes irrespective of their condensation grades.
