title: The banding patterns of normal canine chromosomes.
abstract: The chromosomal banding patterns of canine normal chromosome were analyzed by G-, Q-, C- and N-banding techniques. The chromosomes of canine normal lymphocytes consisted of 38 acrocentric autosome pairs and X-, Y-metacentric sex chromosomes. Their G- and Q-banding patterns corresponded to the those reported by Manolache et al. in 1976. C-bands of chromosomes were found on the centromeric regions of the 7th, 26th, 34th, 35th, 37th and 38th pairs of chromosomes. In addition, N-bands whose location had not been confirmed until now were recognized on the telomitic regions of the 7th, 9th and 22nd pairs of chromosomes.
