title: A brief comparison of methods for preparing fish chromosomes: an overview.
abstract: Methods for preparing fish chromosomes are presented for comparison, and their differences and similarities are given in tabular form. Many of the seemingly new and improved methods are merely modifications of known techniques. Differences between the methods used to prepare slides complicate the direct comparison of results. The development of standard methods appears to be desirable.
