β¦ Synopsis
Using a simple G-banding technique developed in our laboratory, analysis of late prophases enables the visualization of approximately 1000 bands in the haploid set of human chromosomes. These bands have been classified according to the recommendations of the Paris Conference. The increased resolution offered by this technique is likely to be useful in the study of the structure and molecular organization of chromosomes and in identifying minute chromosome defects in birth defects and neoplasia.

## Abstract Chromosomes from 20 Gβbanded karyotypes of golden hamster cheek pouch cells were precisely measured to determine total lengths and arm ratios. Mean values were used t o establish an idiogram which may serve as the basis for a standard hamster karyotype.
Automated analysis of chromosome band patterns using probabilistic Markov networks has been reported in previous work. Band patterns are represented as strings of symbols. Inferred from a set of learning strings, a Markov network is a model of intraband and interband relations in these strings. The
Chromosomal preparations from cells flash-labeled with 3H-dT were Giemsa-banded following trypsin digestion, allowed to air-dry, and then were coated with a layer of 1% Formvar. The slides were subsequently coated with radiographic emulsion (NTB2) and processed for autoradiography. The resulting chr
