We combined the techniques of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and chromosomal microdissection in one experiment (FISH-MD). This novel method permits rapid identification of the composition, origin, and breakpoints of rearranged chromosomes. Rearranged chromosomes are first identified by multicolor-FISH, then the fluorophore-labeled derivative chromosomes are directly isolated by microdissection and reverse painted to identify the breakpoints.
