Heterochromatin heterogeneity revealed by restriction endonuclease digestion and subsequent C-banding on bovine metaphase chromosomes.
نویسنده
چکیده
Conventional alkaline C-banding was found to be an effective additional step in restriction endonuclease banding to improve staining contrast and to reveal hidden changes in the heterochromatic blocks. Examples of these cases are demonstrated on the bovine chromosome set using Hinf I and Taq I endonucleases in the digestion experiments.

Chromosome restriction enzyme digestion in domestic pig (Sus scrofa) constitutive heterochromatin arrangement.
The bimodal karyotype of pig appears to contain two types of constitutive heterochromatin, reflecting different satellite DNA families: GC-rich heterochromatin located mainly in the centromeric regions of the biarmed chromosomes, and less-GC-rich heterochromatin in the centromeric regions of the one-armed chromosomes. In order to better discriminate this constitutive heterochromatin, we treated...
متن کاملHeterochromatin heterogeneity in Hypostomus prope unae (Steindachner, 1878) (Siluriformes, Loricariidae)from Northeastern Brazil
Cytogenetic analyses using C-banding and chromosomal digestion by several restriction enzymes were carried out in four populations (named A, B, C and D) of Hypostomus prope unae (Loricariidae, Hypostominae) from Contas river basin, northeastern Brazil. These populations share 2n=76 and single NORs on the second metacentric pair but exclusive karyotype forms for each locality. Populations A and ...
متن کاملHidden heterochromatin: Characterization in the Rodentia species Cricetus cricetus, Peromyscus eremicus (Cricetidae) and Praomys tullbergi (Muridae)
The use of in situ restriction endonuclease (RE) (which cleaves DNA at specific sequences) digestion has proven to be a useful technique in improving the dissection of constitutive heterochromatin (CH), and in the understanding of the CH evolution in different genomes. In the present work we describe in detail the CH of the three Rodentia species, Cricetus cricetus, Peromyscus eremicus (family ...
متن کاملCurrent status of the river buffalo (Bubalus bubalis L.) gene map.
Ninety-nine loci have been assigned to river buffalo chromosomes, 67 of which are coding genes and 32 of which are anonymous DNA segments (microsatellites). Sixty-seven assignments were based on cosegregation of cellular markers in somatic cell hybrids (synteny), whereas 39 were based on in situ hybridization of fixed metaphase chromosomes with labeled DNA probes. Seven loci were assigned by bo...
متن کاملMolecular Cytogenetic Study of Heterochromatin in Some Coleopteran Insects
Heterochromatin characteristics have been studied in Leptinotarsa decemlineata belonging to the leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae) and compared to the thoroughly analysed heterochromatin of the mealworm beetle Tenebrio molitor, representing darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae). C-banding reveals heterochromatin in pericentromeric regions of all chromosomes of both species; however heterochromatic blocks ...
