| Abstract: | Heterochromatin in the European field vole, Microtus agrestis, was studied using a special staining technique and DNA/RNA in situ hybridization. The heterochromatin composed the proximal 1/4 of the short arm and the entire long arm of the X chromosome, practically the entire Y chromosome and the centromeric areas of the autosomes. By using the DNA/RNA in situ hybridization technique, repeated nucleotide sequences are shown to be in the heterochromatin of the sex chromosomes.Supported in part by Research Grants DRG-1061 and 269 from the Damon Runyon Memorial Fund for Cancer Research, G-373 and G-267 from the Robert A. Welch Foundation. |
