Programs for Karyotyping???

[b_d_41501]

Does anyone know of any good programs within a decent price range that will automatically do karyotyping??

Ok... Here's something I found.
The program is called KARIO.
Here's the address where you can download a demo version of it. How extensive the demo version is, I don't know, but after some digging this is all I could find.

So, did it work? I mean, was the program what you were looking for?

The demo wouldn't run, i've been trying to get it to. It looks great though, it's what i'm looking for.

i was really curious..wat does a Karyotyping program really do ?
where does it find its application ?

You first must have a microscope with a camera. You take the picture, then scan the image of the chromosomes into the program. It is supposed to then separate the chromosomes out.

quiet an impressive piece of software indeed

Yes, and from what i know, quite expensive too

Karyotyping will is an automated program that will take a snapshot of a cell nucleus and order the chromosomes so they can be examined.

Yes, but very well worth it. Starting in 2 weeks I will have to do this manually unless I find a software for fairly cheap.
