title: High-resolution G-banding of chromosones in the common vole Microtus arvalis (Rodentia, Arvicolidae)
abstract: We have applied the G-banding technique to early metaphase chromosomes of the vole Microtus arvalis, form 'arvalis'. Fifty metaphase spreads were analysed from spleen and primary fibroblast cell cultures from six voles. We were able to distinguish 435 bands in the haploid set. An idiogram was constructed from the chromosomes at various stages of condensation.
