It also allows permanent storage of chromosome information in a graphical manner. Reporting of results is more convenient, flexible and standardised.

Closure of Kap Shui Mun Channel
The Marine Department will close the Kap Shui Mun Channel from 8.30 am while anchoring trials are in progress tomorrow (Monday).
It is originally scheduled to implement the special marine traffic arrangement when the lifting operation of a bridge unit for the Kap Shui Mun Bridge from a barge commences on May 22.
However, the first lifting operation has been postponed to May 30 because more barge anchoring trials have to be conducted.
A spokesman for the Marine Department said the Kap Shui Mun Channel will be closed commencing as originally scheduled on May 22 but will be reopened early than scheduled. The closure will enable the barge to carry out the trials.
The frequency of the closure of the channel is expected to be generally one day per week for about 11 months.
