High resolution techniques for study of human centromeric heterochromatin.
A high resolution procedure for analyzing human centromeric heterochromatin is described. The combined use of decondensation agents of pericentromeric heterochromatin and electron microscopy of whole mounted chromosomes allows a more precise identification of centromere and pericentromeric regions.
