Classification Of The Chromosomes With Density Profile
Human chromosomes (22 pairs + 2 sex chromosomes) can be classified into 7 groups (Denver's yups) according to their lengths and centromere indexes [21]. he can be classified into their individual classes with the adied banding pattern information. The band chain in a chromosome is usually represented by a 1-D curve, so called densit profile. In this paper, the existing techniques using profile fyor the automatic chromosome classification are reviewed and compared on the same data-base. Some new lobal features are presented and a new local description methos, which is based on the statistics of the band appearance frequency of the R-banded chromosome, is also presented.
