The events that have led to the development of cytogenetics as a specialty within the life sciences are described, with special attention to the early history of human cytogenetics. Improvements in the resolution of chromosome analysis has followed closely the introduction of innovative technology. The review provides a brief account of the structure of somatic and meiotic chromosomes, stressing the high conservation of structure in plants and animals, with emphasis on aspects that require further research. The future of molecular cytogenetics is likely to depend on a better knowledge of chromosome structure and function.
