What Does CGH Stand For?
CGH stands for Comparative Genomic Hybridisation
Comparative Genomic Hybridisation (CGH) is a molecular cytogenetic technique used to identify genomic gains and losses across the entire genome. By comparing the DNA of a test sample to a reference, CGH enables the detection of chromosomal abnormalities, such as duplications and deletions, without the need for cell division. This method has significant applications in cancer research, genetic disorders, and evolutionary biology, providing insights into variations in genetic material that may contribute to disease.
