Numbers locating a band on an arm.
Also known as: Cytogenetic band notation, Locus band designation
The cytogenomic notation locating a stained band on a chromosome arm by a sequence of figures.
Is read digit by digit rather than as a whole number, because each digit narrows the position further and a longer string is a finer location and not a larger value.
Contexts: Laboratory
A string of digits written after the arm letter, read as separate figures rather than as a single number.
