_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Determine cytoband position based on location of probe

_U_s_a_g_e:

     position2Cytoband(chrom, position, units = c("cM", "bases", "ISCN"), bands = c("major", "minor"))

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

   chrom: chromosomal id, chromosome to plot 1:22,X,Y

position: numeric vector

   units: character, type of positional unit

   bands: chararcter, type of cytoband

_V_a_l_u_e:

     Character vector with cytobands, if an illegal position was used,
     the value "-" is returned. All positions  within a single function
     call should be for a single chromosome
