Abstract: We describe in detail the abnormal chromosomes of HEL, a human leukaemia
cell line grown in many laboratories. Complementary high resolution and
whole chromosome analysis tools, including the localisation of repetitive
DNA sequences on intact chromosomes, are essential for understanding
genome remodelling and evolution in cancer cells.
