title: Chromosomal localization of a bovine male specific probe.
abstract: The B.C.1.2. probe, a fairly repeated sequence of the bovine male genome, was located by in situ hybridization on cattle karyotype. Of a total of 711 silver grains, 139 (19.5%) clustered on chromosome Y and about 71% of the grains were located on the short arm. This Y specific bovine male probe could be useful for routine embryo sexing in connection with embryo transfer.
