High frequency of a Robertsonian translocation in a herd of British White cattle.
Chromosome preparations were made from lymphocyte cultures on 52 head of British White park cattle. A translocation chromosome was found at a frequency of 60 per cent. The translocation was concluded to be 1/27, but was assumed to be the same translocation identified as 1/29 in several breeds of European continental cattle.
