Q-, G- and C-band patterns of the mink chromosomes

Nils Mandahl, Karl Fredga

Open full text 30 citations

Abstract

The Q-, G- and C-band patterns of each individual chromosome of the mink (Mustela vison) are described. A detailed idiogram of the Q- and G-band patterns is presented, together with a nomenclature along the lines recommended for human chromosomes by the Paris Conference. The distribution, size and total amount of C-banded regions in the chromosomes of the mink and of some other carnivores are compared. The effect on chromosome banding of aging of the preparations is discussed briefly.
