Cytogenetics
Cytogenetics is essentially a branch of genetics, but is also a part of cell biology/cytology (a subdivision of human anatomy), that is concerned with how the chromosomes relate to cell behaviour, particularly to their behaviour during mitosis and meiosis. Techniques used include karyotyping, analysis of G-banded chromosomes, other cytogenetic banding techniques, as well as molecular cytogenetics such as fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH).

cytogenetics
Cytogenetics is a branch of genetics that focuses on the study of structure and function of the cell, particularly the chromosomes. It involves the analysis of the number and structure of human and animal chromosomes, changes in chromosomes and their relation to disease, and gene mapping to understand normal and disease-related biological processes. Techniques used in cytogenetics include karyotyping, FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization) and comparative genomic hybridization. It is often used in the diagnosis of genetic disorders, some types of cancer, and in prenatal diagnosis.
