Production of C and T bands in human mitotic chromosomes after heat treatment.
A modified thermal denaturation of human chromosomes in Hanks' solution at 91 degrees C produces highly contrasted C and T bands. This improved double-banding system is a good tool in the analysis of ring chromosomes, for which R banding is often inadequate, as it is exemplified.
