The image below shows a set of chromosomes from a pancreatic cancer cell. Each chromosome is "painted" a different color by a Spectral Karyotyping (TM) technique. The arrows mark multi-colored chromosomes which have exchanged parts of their genetic material (DNA). These changes, and other genetic abnormalities observed in pancreatic cancer are currently being investigated at Johns Hopkins. |
