Centromeric heterochromation exchange by an autosomal reciprocal 116 translocation in the pig (Sus scrofa domestica).docVIP

Centromeric heterochromation exchange by an autosomal reciprocal 1/16 translocation in the pig (Sus scrofa domestica) base pair specific DNA binding fluorochromes, chromomycin A3 (CMA), dista- be used for differentiation of A the centromeric regions in pig chromosomes. All bi-armed chromosomes are strongly stained in the centromere by the G-C specific chromomycin A.3 The A-T specific DA-DAPi staining procedure shows brilliant fluorescence on the centromeres of all In the pig, chromosome 1 is a large submetacentric and chromosome 16 a A centromeric heterochromatin exchange
