Quantitative Cladistic Analyses of Chromosomal Banding Data Among Species in Three Orders of Mammals: Hominoid Primates, Felids and Arvicolid Rodents

  • Chapter
Chromosome Structure and Function

Part of the book series: Stadler Genetics Symposia Series ((SGSS))

Abstract

Over the past two decades a number of technical advances have been made which have improved the resolving power of differential chromosome staining procedures. For example, Q-banding (Caspersson, et al., 1970), G-banding (Seabright, 1971), and R- banding (Dutrillaux and Lejeune, 1971) all produce longitudinal chromosomal differentiation, enabling the identification of homologous elements both within and between species. C-banding provides determination of the amount and location of constitutive heterochromatin (Sumner, 1972), whereas a number of fluorochromes, when used in conjunction with the appropriate counterstain, produce regional banding patterns or highlight specific heterochromatic regions (Schweizer, 1981). Staining with silver nitrate has been shown to identify the chromosomal locations of transcriptionally active 18S + 28S ribosomal genes (rDNA) (Bloom and Goodpasture, 1976). Primate chromosomes have been shown to stain differentially against a rodent background in somatic cell hybrids using the alkaline Giemsa (G-ll) staining procedure (Bobrow and Cross, 1974). Incorporation of tritiated thymidine or bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) followed by the appropriate staining allows for the visualization of sister chromatic exchanges (Perry and Wolff, 1974)
