M. Lenartowicz et A. Wojcik, Preferential segregation of marker chromosomes 14 and 18 in mouse recombinant inbred strains derived from the KE and CBA/Kw strains, FOL BIOLOG, 47(3-4), 1999, pp. 131-134
The segregation pattern of chromosomes 14 and 18 were analysed in recombina
nt inbred strains of mice developed from KE and CBA/Kw strains. The analysi
s was possible owing to the fact that the C-band on chromosomes 14 of the C
BA/Kw strain and that of chromosome 18 of the KE strain show size polymorph
ism: while the CBA/Kw mice have a small sized C-band on chromosome 14, the
KE mice show small C-bands on chromosome 18. Chromosomes were identified by
G-banding and FISH. The results show that the chromosomes with small centr
omeric chromatin segregate preferentially.
