Abstract

A high-resolution G-banding technique was used for identification of the chromosomes of the house musk shrew (Suncus murinusu) and for characterizing their individual G-banding pattern. In order to outline the main identifying characteristics of the individual chromosomes and to make comparable the previously published karyotypes of races and individuals, we included in our analysis a detailed study of G-banded chromosomes of different degrees of resolution at metaphase, prometaphase and prophase. On the basis of this study we have constructed idiograms of prometaphase chromosomes and have proposed a standard karyotype of Suncus murinus.
