Ultrafine anaphase bridges (UFBs) result from a defect in sister chromatid segregation during anaphase. They arise from particular DNA structures, mostly generated at specific loci in the human genome, such as centromeres, common fragile sites, telomeres, or ribosomal DNA. Increases in UFB frequency are a marker of genetic instability, and their detection has become a classic way of detecting such genetic instability over the last decade. Here we describe a protocol to stain different types of UFBs in adherent human cells.
