Sex chromosome aberrations involving loss and translocation of tumor-inducing loci in Xiphophorus
Abstract
Karyotypic changes involving a deletion and a translocation of certain sex-linked tumor-inducing loci of the platyfish, Platypoecilus (Xiphophorus) maculatus, have been investigated. The effects of these chromosome aberrations on tumor formation and viability of the fish are discussed.
