Abstract:
A Barrosã bull (Portugal) has been found to carry a new Robertsonian translocation involving chromosomes 16 and 18 of standard cattle karyotype, as demonstrated by GBG- and RBG-banding techniques. C-banding patterns revealed the dicentric nature of this translocation. A comparison between normal cattle chromosome 16 and the q-arms of translocation chromosome and river buffalo chromosome 5 revealed the same G- and R-banding patterns, with only exception of a pericentromeric G-positive band which has been lost in river buffalo 5q and conserved in normal cattle chromosome 16 and rob(16;18) q-arms.
