In adult Sertoli cells of most strains of mice, all the centromeric heterochromatin is condensed in two chromocenters, one on each side of a single, large nucleolus. In a random-bred Swiss OF-1 strain, however, the nucleus has a different structural organization. Part of the heterochromatin is seen

The sequence of centromere separation in spermatogonial chromosomes of untreated and cyclophosphamide-treated Chinese hamsters is described. Centromeres of chromosome 1 and 2 separated much earlier than all other chromosomes, especially 6-8. Cyclophosphamide significantly inhibits the centromere sep
## Abstract 1q rearrangement is a remarkably frequent secondary chromosomal change in both nonβHodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and multiple myeloma (MM), where it is associated with tumor progression. To gain insight into 1q rearrangementβassociated disease mechanisms, we used fluorescence in situ hybridi
The sequence of centromere separation in muntjak fibroblasts was studied using a highresolution TV-microscope system. Computer programs that identify the chromosomes as well as measure the centromere separation are described. Important prerequisites for this study are the high sampling rate and the
