Population

Several inbred strains of mice (Mus musculus) and a series of F(1) hybrids

Design

Preclinical

Authors

Discussion

May aid mouse chromosome identification; leaves open translation to cardiovascular genetic models.

Population

Several inbred strains of mice (Mus musculus) and a series of F(1) hybrids

Intervention

Quinacrine staining and centromeric heterochromatin banding (C-banding)

Outcome

Amount of C-banding material on homologous and different chromosomessurrogate

C-banding can be used to distinguish 12 different chromosomes in mice, serving as normal chromosome markers.

Dev et al. (1973) studied this question.
