title: Different banding techniques for the study of bovine chromosomes.
abstract: The different banding techniques R-, Q-, C-, NOR- and G-banding allow the identification of individual chromosomes in cattle with greater accuracy than with undifferentiated Giemsa staining. These techniques show characteristic bands on each chromosome and are therefore very useful and reliable for the detection of chromosomal abnormalities.
