Replication analysis

Synonym(s)

A cytogenetic technique that uses specialized banding procedures (replication banding) to identify the late-replicating (inactive) X chromosome in cells. Because it is less complicated, less expensive, and less subjective, molecular testing is now used more commonly than replication analysis for X-chromosome inactivation studies.: Definition from: GeneReviews from the University of Washington and the National Center for Biotechnology Information
