Chromosome markers in Mus musculus: strain differences in C-banding

V G Dev et al. Genetics. 1973 Dec.

Abstract

The mitotic chromosomes of several inbred strains of mice and a series of F(1) hybrids have been analyzed by quinacrine staining and further characterized by the centromeric heterochromatin banding (C-banding). Inbred strains had the same amount of C-banding material on homologous chromosomes but showed variation in the amount on different chromosomes. F(1) hybrids showed characteristics of each parent and it appears that the amount of C-banding on each chromosome is a simple inherited polymorphism. In this study 12 different chromosomes could be distinguished by their C-banding, and these can be used as normal chromosome markers.
