Analysis of cytogenetic differentiation in selected species of the family Camelidae: Vicugna pacos and Vicugna vicugna [PDF]
The aim of this study was to analysis of cytogenetic differentation in two species: Vicugna pacos and Vicugna vicugna . Cytogenetic analysis based on blood culture technique. Blood culture were set up in culture medium Limphogrow and Lymphochrome. The cells growth, after 71 hours, was kept in metaphase using colcemid.
