Q-banding of human chromosomes after BUdR and BCdR treatment

Hum Genet. 1976 Mar 12;31(3):309-16. doi: 10.1007/BF00270860.

Abstract

Two different Q patterns were found in BUdR and BCdR treated chromosomes of human lymphocyte cultures: X-type pattern, in which Giemsa and quinacrine banding both are reversed; Y-type pattern, in which Q-banding remains conventional in spite of reverse G-banding. Possible mechanisms of these findings are discussed.
