Cytogenetic evaluation of 20 primary breast carcinomas
(1997-11-03)
Chromosome analysis was performed on samples from 20 Brazilian patients with breast cancer. All the samples were from untreated patients who presented the clinical symptoms for months or years before surgical intervention. ...
Cytogenetic analysis of Epicauta atomaria (Meloidae) and Palembus dermestoides (Tenebrionidae) with Xyp sex determination system using standard staining, C-bands, NOR and synaptonemal complex microspreading techniques
(2000-12-01)
The mitotic and meiotic chromosomes of the beetles Epicauta atomaria (Meloidae) and Palembus dermestoides (Tenebrionidae) were analysed using standard staining, C-banding and silver impregnation techniques. We determine ...
Cytogenetic characterization of a supernumerary chromosome segment and of B-chromosomes in Astyanax scabripinnis (Teleostei, Characidae)
(Kluwer Academic Publ, 2000-01-01)
The chromosome complement of a local population of Astyanax scabripinnis in Brazil was investigated with emphasis on the study of the heterochromatin attached to the A-chromosomes and present in the macro B-chromosome. ...
Cytogenetic analysis of Phyllomedusa distincta Lutz, 1950 (2n = 2x = 26), P. tetraploidea Pombal and Haddad, 1992 (2n = 4x = 52), and their natural triploid hybrids (2n = 3x = 39) (Anura, Hylidae, Phyllomedusinae)
(2013-08-30)
Background: Natural polyploidy has played an important role during the speciation and evolution of vertebrates, including anurans, with more than 55 described cases. The species of the Phyllomedusa burmeisteri group are ...
Chromosome painting of Z and W sex chromosomes in Characidium (Characiformes, Crenuchidae)
(2013-01-24)
Some species of the genus Characidium have heteromorphic ZZ/ZW sex chromosomes with a totally heterochromatic W chromosome. Methods for chromosome microdissection associated with chromosome painting have become important ...
Phosphorylation of Histone H3S10 in Animal Chromosomes: Is There a Uniform Pattern?
(Karger, 2011-01-01)
Phosphorylation of serine 10 in histone H3 (H3S10ph) has been extensively analyzed and appears to be a conserved chromatin change associated with chromosome condensation in different eukaryotic organisms. In this work, we ...
Heterochromatic banding pattern in two Brazilian populations of Aedes aegypti
(1999-09-01)
We analysed samples of Aedes aegypti from Sao Jose do Rio Preto and Franca (Brazil) by C-banding and Ag-banding staining techniques. C-banding pattern of Ae. aegypti from Sao Jose do Rio Preto examined in metaphase cells ...
Chromosome banding patterns of four species of bats, with special reference to a case of X-autosome translocation
(1983-12-01)
The karyotypes of 4 species of bats, Artibeus lituratus (Phyllostomatidae), Pipistrellus pipistrellus (Vespertilionidae), Pteropus alecto and P. giganteus (Pteropodidae), were studied after several banding techniques. For ...
Chromosomal characteristics and karyotype evolution of oxyopidae spiders (araneae, entelegynae)
(2011-05-16)
We made a cytogenetic analysis of four species of Oxyopidae and compared it with the karyotype data of all species of this family. In Hamataliwa sp, the mitotic cells showed 2n♂ = 26+X 1X 2 and telocentric chromosomes. The ...
New occurrence of a macro B-chromosome in Astyanax scabripinnis paranae (Pisces, Characiformes, Characidae)
(1994-01-01)
Cytogenetic studies performed on 17 specimens (11 females and six males) of Astyanax scabripinnis paranae from the Cascatinha stream showed that this population has 2n = 50 chromosomes (8M + 22SM + 10ST + 10A), two chromosome ...
