title: High resolution G-banded chromosomes of the mouse.
abstract: High resolution G-banded mouse chromosomes were prepared using an actinomycin D and acridine orange pretreatment protocol, resulting in late prophase mouse chromosomes which reveal over twice the number of bands as compared with mid metaphase. These elongated chromosomes, described here in detail and used to construct a precise schematic representation of the late prophase banding patterns, should be generally useful in high resolution mouse chromosome analysis.
