Remarks
18S rDNA confirmed the localization of the NORs and showed two extra cistons in the short arm of one acrocentric chromosomes of the pairs 20 and 26. 5S rDNA showed 5 cistrons of this gene, four of them syntenic to 18S rDNA genes, and the other located on short arm of first acrocentric pair 26.

Chromosome staining/banding/FISH
Simple NORs located in terminal region of acrocentric chromosomes 25 pair. C-bands present in pericentromeric region of most chromosomes, interstitial in long arm of the submetacentric chromosome pair 8 and acrocentric chromosome pair 26, and terminal on the short arm of submetacentric pairs 4, 9 and 10 and subtelocentric pair 19, and in the long arm of submetacentric pairs 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 11, subtelocentric pair 16, and acrocentric pairs 20, 21, 23 and 26.
