title: C-banding pattern on the chromosomes of the Japanese house shrew, Suncus murinus riukiuanus, and its implication.
abstract: The C-band on the chromosomes of the Japanese house shrew, Suncus murinus riukiuanus (Insectivora), was studied. Various types of C-banding patterns were found in the genome of this subspecies. Such banding patterns could be useful for an understanding of autosome and sex-chromosome polymorphisms within S. murinus.
