Banding patterns of the chromosomes of man and the chimpanzee

The gorilla karyotype: chromosome lengths and polymorphisms

“…Recently, studies using one or more of the chromosome banding techni ques described in the Paris Conference (1971) report have been carried out on P. troglodytes or G. gorilla (Bobrow and Madan, 1973;Egozcue et al, 1973;G rouchy et al, 1973;P earson, 1973;Warburton et al, 1973). An elegant series of comparisons of prometa phase chromosomes of the three species, stained to show R-, Q-, T-, and…”

Banding Patterns of the Chromosomes of Nycticebus coucang (Boddaert, 1785)

“…Q (quinacrine), G (Giemsa) and C (centromere) bands were obtained with the methods of Polani and Mutton [1971], Egozcue et al [1973] and Y unis et ai. [1971].…”

Karyotype of the chimpanzee, <i>Pan troglodyte</i><i>s</i>, based on measurements and banding pattern: comparison to the human karyotype

“…However, none of these studies has presented measurement data combined with the banding patterns, and the only proposal for a nomenclature of the chim panzee chromosomes has been that of Grouchy et al (1972), who sug gested a numbering system based on presumed homologies with human chromosomes. Such a system seems unwise, since many of the suggested homologies are not well established and already have been questioned by other workers (Borrow and Madan, 1973; Egozcue et al, 1973;Pearson, 1973). In addition, the "anthropomorphic" system of nomenclature would not be workable for other primates, where the homologies are even less clear than those between human and the chimpanzee chromosomes.…”

“…Now that chromosome banding techniques have so greatly increased the potential of such comparisons, interest in primate chromosomes has revived. Several groups have published comparisons of chromosome banding pat terns of the chimpanzee and Homo sapiens or other great apes (Turleau et al, 1972;Chiarelh and Lin, 1972;Grouchy et al, 1972Grouchy et al, , 1973; Bobrow and Madan, 1973; Egozcue et al, 1973;Pearson, 1973). However, none of these studies has presented measurement data combined with the banding patterns, and the only proposal for a nomenclature of the chim panzee chromosomes has been that of Grouchy et al (1972), who sug gested a numbering system based on presumed homologies with human chromosomes.…”
