Introduction: Infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss are serious health problems often associated with genetic abnormalities such as chromosomal rearrangements. Although conventional cytogenetics plays a crucial role in this kind of diagnostics, it fails to detect submicroscopic changes, especially in the pericentromeric regions of acrocentric chromosomes, which are potentially prone to rearrangement. To overcome this limitation, this study aimed to identify such subtle changes that can lead to reproductive disorders using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique and newly developed fluorescence probes that specifically target these regions.

Detecting somatic structural variants (SVs), copy number variants (CNVs), and mutations in bone and soft tissue tumors is essential for accurately diagnosing, treating, and prognosticating outcomes. Optical genome mapping (OGM) holds promise to yield useful data on SVs and CNVs but requires fresh or snap-frozen tissues. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical utility of data from OGM compared with current standard-of-care cytogenetic testing.

Scuticociliates are recognized as the causative agents of mass mortalities in certain cultured marine fishes, resulting in enormous economic losses. This study aimed to investigate a fatal infection caused by scuticociliates in farmed large yellow croaker () in Fujian province, China. Microscopic examinations of focal organs, including the brain, eyes, gills, and skin, revealed the presence of parasites.

Cytogenetic studies are essential in the diagnosis and follow up of patients with bone marrow failure syndromes (BMFSs), but obtaining good quality results is often challenging due to hypocellularity. Optical Genome Mapping (OGM), a novel technology capable of detecting most types chromosomal structural variants (SVs) at high resolution, is being increasingly used in many settings, including hematologic malignancies. Herein, we compared conventional cytogenetic techniques to OGM in 20 patients with diverse BMFSs.

Background: Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is one of the most well characterised human malignancies. Most patients have a cytogenetically visible translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 which generates the pathognomonic BCR::ABL1 fusion gene. The derivative chromosome 22 ('Philadelphia' or Ph chromosome) usually harbours the fusion gene encoding a constitutively active ABL1 kinase domain.
