My compliments for your present version. There must be more clinical indications than the ones mentioned... JFW | T@lk 23:25, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

do you think a list of the things cytogenetics can identify would be appropriate? I can definitely get a list of them, but it's quite a lot of things. maybe i should add a few more common ones? i don't know much about clinical presentations or things like that though if that's what you mean. rhyax 02:59, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Beautiful article. In the near future the quality of the article could be enhanced by introducing information about organisms another than human beings, such as C. elengans or Arabidopsis thaliana. [[User:Pabloalbv] 01:21, 1 Sep 2006 (UTC)

I look forward to that, unfortunately my expertise is only in human cytogenetics :) - cohesion 07:12, 2 November 2006 (UTC) (aka rhyax)

The analytical standards and policies appear to mainly apply to a US model. Other standards and procedures apply in other countries. Agoutirex 21:46, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wider perspective needed

The article depends too much on medical examples, and loses sight of the range of variation in the eukaryote kingdom. There is also an unhealthy emphasis on laboratory cytological techniques at the expense of a proper overview of the scientific issues which the techniques help to answer. This prevents a consideration of evolutionary questions, which is one of the main objectives of a biological approach. There are also some errors, which need correction.
