Constitutive heterochromatin polymorphism in river buffalo chromosomes
Constitutive heterochromatin (HC) distribution among river buffalo (Bubalus bubalis L., 2n=50) chromosomes was analyzed by using both the CBA-technique and GBA + CBA technique. CBA-banding revealed the presence of HC in the centromeric regions of all the chromosomes of the 15 animals we investigated.

Investigation of marmoset hybrids (Cebuella pygmaea x Callithrix jacchus) and related Callitrichinae (Platyrrhini) by cross-species chromosome painting and comparative genomic hybridization [PDF]
We report on the cytogenetics of twin offspring from an interspecies cross in marmosets (Callitrichinae, Platyrrhini), resulting from a pairing between a female Common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus, 2n = 46) and a male Pygmy marmoset (Cebuella pygmaea, 2n

Detection of chromosome aberrations in the human interphase nucleus by visualization of specific target DNAs with radioactive and non-radioactive in situ hybridization techniques: diagnosis of trisomy 18 with probe L1.84 [PDF]
The localization of chromosome 18 in human interphase nuclei is demonstrated by use of radioactive and nonradioactive in situ hybridization techniques with a DNA clone designated L1.84.

Candida albicans repetitive elements display epigenetic diversity and plasticity [PDF]
Transcriptionally silent heterochromatin is associated with repetitive DNA. It is poorly understood whether and how heterochromatin differs between different organisms and whether its structure can be remodelled in response to environmental signals. Here,

SUV39 SET domains mediate crosstalk of heterochromatic histone marks
The SUV39 class of methyltransferase enzymes deposits histone H3 lysine 9 di- and trimethylation (H3K9me2/3), the hallmark of constitutive heterochromatin.

Constitutive heterochromatin distribution in pig (Sus scrofa) chromosomes
Constitutive heterochromatin (HC = C-banding) distribution was studied in pig (Sus5crofa) chromosomes from 20 animals belonging to Cinta Senese and Calabrese breeds raised in southern Italy. The use of CBG-banding, sequential GBG/CBA-banding and sequential GBG/ Ag-NOR/CBA-banding techniques allowed more detailed characterization of C-banding patterns ...
