An improved characterization of goat chromosomes by means of G- and R-band comparison.
An improved characterization of goat (Capra hircus, 2n = 60) chromosomes was obtained after a G- and R-banding comparison of the prometaphase chromosomes arranged according to the standard karyotype. GTG-, GBG-, RBG, and RBA-banding made possible construction of G- and R-banded idiograms with a common banding nomenclature. A brief G- and R-banding description of chromosomes 4, 6, 22, 23, 25, 27, 28 and 29 is also given.
