Mammalian chromosome banding--an expression of genome organization

W A Bickmore et al. Trends Genet. 1989 May.

Abstract

Banding of metaphase chromosomes is an invaluable aid to analysing the complex genomes of vertebrates, but the biochemical basis for this phenomenon is poorly understood. Advances in molecular biology are beginning to point to features of genome organization that may play roles in chromosome banding.
