β¦ Synopsis
Digestion of fixed metaphase chromosomes by endonucleases (micrococcal nuclease and DNase II) under optimal digestion conditions followed by Giemsa staining produces sharp banding patterns identical to G-bands. In 3H-thymidine labeled, synchronized metaphase cells of the chinese hamster (CHO line), the band induction is accompanied by the removal of DNA. The single strand specific nuclease S1 and DNase I do not produce such banding patterns.

An in situ hybridization procedure was developed for mitotic potato chromosomes by using a potato 24S rDNA probe. This repetitive sequence hybridized to the nucleolar organizer region (NOR) of chromosome 2 in 95%-100% of the metaphase plates. Another repetitive sequence (P5), isolated from the inter
Constitutive heterochromatin of a karyotypically conserved species of harvest mouse was compared to that of three karyotypically derived species of harvest mice by examining banding patterns produced on metaphase patterns produced by two of these restriction endonucleases (EcoRI and MboI) were compa
We assessed the chromosomal response of insect (mosquito, Aedes albopictus) and mammalian (Chinese hamster ovary, CHO) cells to streptonigrin (SN). Both types of cells were pulse-treated for 20 min with increasing doses of SN and the frequency of chromosome aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges
Although 6 bp-restriction endonucleases infrequently cut DNA, we describe in this paper the banding pattern induced by one of them, StuI (AGGCCT), on fixed human chromosomes. This enzyme is the first 6 bp-restriction endonuclease demonstrated to be able to digest human heterochromatin. It causes the
