A New Method for Chromosome Pairing of Qingdao Amphioxus Digital Image Processing Method

A new method for chromosome pairing of amphioxus using digital image processing technology is studyed in this paper, selects chromosome banding image of amphioxus Branchiostoma belcheri tsingtauense as experimental material, According to objective data obtained from the program, this method improves the subjective pairing method which uses image processing software to measure long arm and short arm of the chromosome. The results show that the pairing method is effective, accurate and practical. This study has important theoretical and practical significance for further study of chromosome gene mapping and cell genetics of amphioxus.
