  • Title: High resolution analysis and differential condensation in RBA-banded human chromosomes.
    Author: Schollmayer E, Schäfer D, Frisch B, Schleiermacher E.
    Journal: Hum Genet; 1981; 59(3):187-93. PubMed ID: 7035338.
    Abstract:
    Human prophase, premetaphase, and mid-metaphase chromosomes are prepared and analyzed using the thymidine cell synchronization technique and R-banding patterns (RBA). Haploid sets with 700-1000 bands can be demonstrated. Sequences of chromosomes of different degrees of condensation are helpful for a better understanding and classification of regions of extended chromosomes. A considerable variation in the condensation of parts of homologous chromosomes is reflected in the variability of the arm ratio. This differential condensation of chromosomes is entirely effected by variation of the degree of condensation in AT rich interbands and can be attributed to the degree of labeling by BrdU.
