High-Resolution G-Banding of Sheep Chromosomes
Institute of Cytology and Genetics, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Siberian Department Novosibirsk, U.S.S.R.
Abstract
Application of the Giemsa-trypsin method to elongated sheep chromosomes allowed us to discriminate about 500 bands. Descriptions of the G-banded patterns focused on the main identifying features of all the chromosomes, particularly 4 and 6, 9 and 10, 19 and 20, and 21, 24, and 26. An ideogram of sheep chromosomes was constructed based on detailed examination of chromosomes at different levels of condensation.
