International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature

The International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature (ISCN) is an international standard for human chromosome nomenclature, which includes band names, symbols and abbreviated terms used in the description of human chromosome and chromosome abnormalities.

The ISCN used as the central reference among cytogeneticists since 1960.[1][2]

gollark: That's an awful workaround which will probably break something for someone, when the solution is just a sane format with working escaping.
gollark: Ah, a more reasonable 112kloc of nonvendor code.
gollark: I didn't exclude dokuwiki's vendor folder, so hold on.
gollark: No idea, don't have it.
gollark: It's DokuWiki.
