      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.

      -scroll down until you see the word KARIO-

      hope this helps. 😕

      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.

      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.

      so I guess that means you weren’t able to get the demo running???

      😕

      back to square one, i suppose…

      ok, here are descriptions for other karyotyping programs that are out now, but how they fare in terms of affordability… ❓ ❓ ❓

      Yes, but my school has a small budget (they don’t like bunches of research) so we usually resort to the old fashioned methods.

      It’s hard when your sample size is over 200!@!!!@!#@$#$

      We are running slightly behind schedule with the beginnings of our karyotyping endeavor. My research leader is purchasing a digital camera lens for the microscope soon so it will be easier to get the project rolling in the laboratory stuff. Thanks for all the links guys.
