Chromosomes of the Domestic Cat

Nature volume 204, pages 99–100 (1964)Cite this article

Abstract

THE recent advances in the visualization of diploid metaphase chromosomes of mammalian somatic cells have offered new opportunities to verify and extend previous techniques in which mitotic rates, DNA measurements, and various tracer techniques have been used to analyse cellular kinetics. Investigations of these latter types have been reported on human and dog bone marrow cells1–3. Some limited studies on replication of human chromosomes, particularly the sex chromosome, have also been reported4.
