Various chromosomal banding techniques were utilized on the catfish, Iheringichthys labrosus, taken from the Capivara Reservoir. C-banding regions were evidenced in telomeric regions of most of the chromosomes. The B microchromosome appeared totally heterochromatic. The restriction endonuclease AluI produced a banding pattern similar to C-banding in some chromosomes; the B microchromosome, when...

We present an equipment development for PET Banding Header that complements the Steel Banding machine currently being utilized in Pohang steel works, South Korea. The PET Banding Header was developed due to the damages done on the surface of the cold rolling products whilst being transported. Because the PET Banding Header was designed as a friction-binding technology against the existing heat-...

this report presents the cytogenetic findings (g -banded chromosomal analysis} in 383 cases referred for suspected chromosomal abnormalities because of abnormal clinical features. chromosomal aberrations were found in 63 116.5%) of these cases, free trisomy 21 (7%) being the most common abnormality , followed by 47, xxykaryotype (4%). the breakdown figures for each group is discussed in the text.

background chromosomal aberrations are one of the most common causes of mental retardation (mr). objectives in this study, in order to identify the rate of chromosomal abnormalities in idiopathic mr, 50 mr patients at a charity center in hamadan, iran, were investigated. methods fifty mentally retarded male patients without specific chromosomal abnormalities (e.g., down syndrome, fragile x synd...

karyotype of river loach turcinoemacheilus kosswigi from the euphrates river, turkey was investigated using conventional giemsa-staining and c-banding. two females and two males were analyzed. diploid chromosome number was 2n= 50 in all specimens. the karyotype consisted of four pairs of metacentric (m), seven pairs of submeta (sm)-subtelocentric (st) and 14 pairs of acrocentric (a) chromosomes...
