Abstract
Chromosome bar codes (CBCs) based on locus-specific probes, i.e., bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones, were popular in molecular cytogenetics for chromosome identification and characterization about 10 years ago. In the recent years, CBCs were introduced again but now meant for characterization of specific chromosomal subregions. Here we summarize a few such CBCs and highlight some points to be recognized when CBCs are set up.
