title: Sister chromatid differential staining pattern in prematurely condensed chromosomes.
abstract: Application of sister chromatid differential (SCD) procedure on G1, S and G2 prematurely condensed chromosomes (PCC) of cells in the second and third cycle of DNA replication in medium containing BrdU reveals differential staining patterns characteristic of their respective stages in the cell cycle. These findings also suggest a structural similarity between PCC and metaphase chromosomes.
