Chromosome banding is a little like tie-dying your chromosomes.
A chromosome is a unit of tightly-packed DNA. DNA has to wrap tightly around itself, because you have quite a lot of it. In fact, if you unrolled all the DNA in a single one of your cells, it would be about three meters long. Humans have 46 chromosomes - 23 from Mom and 23 from Dad.
In chromosome banding, we treat chromosomes with chemicals to stain them and learn about a chromosome by how it stains. There are several different types of stains we can use.
