[Cytogenetic mapping of cattle (Bos taurus L.). Quantitative analysis of the RBA-map of prometaphase chromosomes]

Using the decondensing effect of ethidium bromide and replicative (RBA) staining a high resolution map of cattle chromosomes was produced. The extent and distribution pattern of R(G) blocks were estimated quantitatively. The data thus obtained are correlated with the results of cytogenetic mapping in other mammalian species and in man.
