The gorilla karyotype: chromosome lengths and polymorphisms

Abstract: Metaphase chromosome preparations of three male and one female Gorilla gorilla were stained to demonstrate quinacrine, Giemsa, centromeric heterochromatin, and, in one case, reverse-Giemsa bands. A standard karyotype is proposed based on chromosome banding pattern, centromeric index, and length. Three types of variation between homologous chromosomes are described: presence or absence of very bright fluorescence of the short arm or satellite region of acrocentric chromosomes, presence or absence of bright quin… Show more

“…GTG-banding was applied in 1973 to analyze the fine structure of gorilla chromosomes and to identify homologies with chimpanzee and human chromosomes Lejeune et al, 1973). Chromosome heteromorphisms of repetitive sequences in the gorilla genome have been studied by several groups (e.g., Miller et al, 1974;Schmid et al, 1986;Haaf and Schmid, 1987;Marks, 1993). Furthermore, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with human probes has been performed on gorilla chromosomes using alphoid sequences (Baldini et al, 1993;Archidiacono et al, 1995), gene-specific probes (Matera and Marks, 1993;Ried et al, 1993;Nickerson and Nelson, 1998;Tanabe, 1999), subtelomere-specific probes (Kingsley et al, 1997;Conte et al, 1999), the chromosome arm 2q-specific probe (Wienberg et al, 1994), whole-chromosome painting probes Stanyon et al, 1992), and the chromosome bar code technique (Müller et al, 1997;Wienberg and Stanyon, 1997).…”

“…These banding techniques also brought a new degree of precision to interspecific comparisons (Chiarelli and Lin, 1972;de Grouchy et aI., 1972;Turleau et aI., 1972;Bobrow and Madan, 1973;Dutrillaux et aI., 1975a,b,c;Egozcue et aI., 1973a,b,c;de Grouchy et aI., 1973;Khudr et aI., 1973;Lejeune et aI., 1973;Lin et aI., 1973;Turleau and de Grouchy, 1973; 2For a complete bibliography to 1972, see Chiarelli et al (1979). aI., 1973;Miller et al, 1974;Dutrillaux, 1975;Dutrillaux et aI., 1975a,b,c;Mai, 1979;Stanyon, 1982).…”
