[Analysis of DNA and chromosome damage by the methods of molecular cytogenetics].

The main hybrid techniques of molecular cytogenetics are described. Methodological aspects of combination of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with the comet assay and micronuclei (MN) test are discussed along with results of their application to evaluate and locate DNA and chromosome damage in the genome. The experience of the authors with the application of FISH in combination with the comet assay and MN test are reported.
