title: [The history of modern chromosome analysis. The founding contribution of the works of Caspersson].
abstract: Chromosome analysis based on the studies of individual chromosomes is widely used in medical genetics, selection, and molecular biology. The "Human Genome" program based on studies of individual chromosomes is aimed at the complete sequencing of the human genome. The nature of the differential stainability of the chromosomes of different organisms (Rodionov, 1999) and the identity or difference of individual types of their banding are discussed.
