Chromosome banding patterns and the nucleolar organizer region of the eastern mole (Scalopus aquaticus). 1976

T L Yates, and A D Stock, and D J Schmidly

The C and G chromosome banding patterns and the AgAS positive sites (NOR regions) of cultured lung cells of the Eastern mole (Scalopus aquaticus) are presented. A distinctive secondary constriction is found on a pair of autosomes instead of on the X-chromosome as previously believed. The presence of a heterochromatic heteromorphism is noted and a large amount of constitutive heterochromatin is present in the karyotype.
