    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Molecular Biology
    • Animal Research

    Background:

    • Chromosome analysis is crucial for genetic studies.
    • Existing methods for chromosome isolation from live animal models can be complex or inefficient.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and present a simple, reproducible microtechnique for obtaining metaphase chromosomes from peripheral blood of live mice.

    Main Methods:

    • A microtechnique was developed for peripheral blood collection.
    • Standard cytogenetic procedures were adapted for small sample volumes.

    Main Results:

    • The microtechnique successfully yielded metaphase chromosomes from live mice.
    • The method demonstrated reproducibility across different mouse genetic backgrounds.
    • The technique was successfully replicated in three independent laboratories.

    Conclusions:

    • This microtechnique offers a straightforward and reliable method for mouse chromosome analysis.
    • The technique's broad applicability and reproducibility make it valuable for genetic research involving mice.
