Title: Chromomycin staining of vertebrate chromosomes: enhancement of banding patterns by NaOH. Author: Amemiya CT, Gold JR. Journal: Cytobios; 1987; 49(198-199):147-52. PubMed ID: 3581916. Abstract: A simple technique is described for staining vertebrate chromosomes with the GC-base pair specific DNA fluorochrome, chromomycin A3. Addition of NaOH crystals to a glycerol mounting medium resulted in good differentiation of chromosome bands and eliminated the need for counterstaining.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
