HIGH-RESOLUTION GTG-BANDING AND NUCLEAR ORGANIZER REGIONS OF CHROMOSOMES OF 2 VOLE SPECIES - MICROTUS ROSSIAEMERIDIONALIS AND M-TRANSCASPICUS (RODENTIA, ARVICOLIDAE)
Na. Mazurok et al., HIGH-RESOLUTION GTG-BANDING AND NUCLEAR ORGANIZER REGIONS OF CHROMOSOMES OF 2 VOLE SPECIES - MICROTUS ROSSIAEMERIDIONALIS AND M-TRANSCASPICUS (RODENTIA, ARVICOLIDAE), Genetika, 34(8), 1998, pp. 1073-1080
With the use of the GTG-banding of prometaphase chromosomes, 503 and 4
02 segments were revealed in haploid chromosome sets of voles Microtus
rossiaemeridionalis and M. transcaspicus, respectively. Based on a de
tailed study of chromosomes at different condensation levels, idiogram
s of M. rossiaemeridionalis and M. transcaspicus chromosomes were cons
tructed. Sequential Ag-staining and GTG-banding allowed nucleolar orga
nizer regions (NORs) to be localized in 16 and 11 chromosome pairs of
M. rossiaemeridionalis and M. transcaspicus, respectively.
