Programs for Karyotyping???

[b_d_41501]

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

[Winter]

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. 😕

Thanks Kayleth, i’ll check it out

[Winter]

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

[b_d_41501]

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

cool

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

[b_d_41501]

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.

[cytochromeP]

quiet an impressive piece of software indeed 😀

[MrMistery]

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.

[b_d_41501]

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.

[Winter]

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

😕

back to square one, i suppose…

[Winter]

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

i hope that at least one of them is able to help you out.
If not I’m going to start banging my head on the wall. j/k 😉

[cytochromeP]

so did you find any as such software ?

[b_d_41501]

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

[cytochromeP]

so wat is that software that u have selected?

[MrMistery]

I think he is still at manual work.. It’s not that hard.. It takes some time and patience

[b_d_41501]

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

[b_d_41501]

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.
