The reckoning of chromosomal instability: past, present, future

Chromosome Res. 2024 Feb 17;32(1):2. doi: 10.1007/s10577-024-09746-y.

Abstract

Quantitative measures of CIN are crucial to our understanding of its role in cancer. Technological advances have changed the way CIN is quantified, offering increased accuracy and insight. Here, we review measures of CIN through its rise as a field, discuss considerations for its measurement, and look forward to future quantification of CIN.

Keywords: Aneuploidy; CIN; Cancer; Cytogenetics; Genomic instability; Quantitative measures.
