| Chromosome staining/banding/FISH |
Ag-NORs and 45S rDNA mapped to a medium-sized submetacentric chromosomal pair. 5S rDNA hybridized on short arm of a medium-sized submetacentric chromosome pair and a minor signal on a centromeric site of a small acrocentric chromosome pair. Hybridization with telomeric (TTAGGG)n repeat displayed small signals at all chromosomal telomeres. (GATA)n probe produced dispersed and small hybridization signals on all chromosome spreads. |
