Quantitative analysis of centromeric FISH spots during the cell cycle by image cytometry.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using chromosome enumeration DNA probes (CEPs) labeling centromeric regions. The intensity of the staining increases as the cell progresses in the cell cycle. On the published pictures, it is rare to be able to resolve the centromeric regions of the sister chromatids.
