✦ Synopsis

The karyotypes of seven species of Australian Rattus were studied by G-banding. When taken in conjunction with molecular data, it is shown that rate of chromosome evolution in the R. sordidus group (R. sordidus, R. villosissimus and R. colletti) has been remarkably rapid and directed entirely towards changes of the Robertsonian type. From data on hybrid fertility it is concluded that the presence of fusions with monobrachial homology contributes more to reduced fertility than fusions per se or genetic differences.

Recombinant lambda bacteriophage clone H3 containing a human DNA segment of 14.9 kb present in one or two copies per haploid genome was isolated. In situ hybridization to human metaphase chromosomes of the 3H-labeled cloned DNA resulted in highly significant labeling (53% of cells) of band p36 of ch
