B chromosomes - B chromosomes are small supernumerary chromosomes found in many eukaryotic nuclei that are believed to be largely non-coding and probably parasitic on the host genome.

List of number of chromosomes of various organisms - Diploid number (2n)

Spectral karyotyping - Spectral Karyotyping is a molecular cytogenetic technique used to simultaneously visualize all the 23 pairs of human (or mouse 20 pairs or 40 chromosomes) chromosomes in 24 different colors. Fluorescently labeled probes for each chromosomes are generated by labeling chromosome specific DNA with different flurophores.

Philadelphia chromosome - Philadelphia chromosome or Philadelphia translocation is a specific genetic, chromosomal abnormality that is associated with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and involves an exchange of material between chromosomes 9 and 22. 95% of patients with CML show this abnormality; the remainder harbour either a cryptic translocation that is invisible on G-banded chromosome preparations or a variant translocation involving another chromosome or chromosomes as well as chromosomes 9 and 22.
