Naming Convention

This manual and ModFit LTanalysis results use shortened forms of ploidy terms to improve readability. We use the term “Diploid” when referring to "DNA diploid". Similarly, we use the terms “Aneuploid” and “Tetraploid” when referring to “DNA aneuploid" and "DNA tetraploid" respectively.

When using analysis results in publications or other contexts outside of the software, we suggest that the explicit “DNA” terms be used. See "Convention on Nomenclature for DNA Cytometry", Hiddeman et, al., Cytometry 5:445-446 (1984) for additional details.
