  • Title: G-banding patterns of high-resolution human chromosomes 6--22, X, and Y.
    Author: Yunis JJ, Ball DW, Sawyer JR.
    Journal: Hum Genet; 1979 Jul 18; 49(3):291-306. PubMed ID: 573239.
    Abstract:
    A precise schematic representation of the number, height, position, and staining intensity of the Giemsa bands of late prophase, prometaphase, early metaphase, and mid-metaphase chromosomes 6--22, X, and Y is presented. Late prophase chromosomes were found to have 2--2 1/2 times the length and 3--3 1/2 times the number of bands previously observed in mid-metaphase, whereas prometaphases and early metaphases were intermediate in length and number of bands. In this work, the maximum number of bands observed per haploid set in late prophase was 1353, while more than 350 were generally found in mid-metaphase.
