Abstract excerpt
Five types of X chromosomes with different amounts of heterochromatin have been observed in Nesokia indica, the Indian mole rat. They have been found in both mosaic and nonmosaic individuals. The influence, if any, of heterochromatin on the kinetics of X-chromosome DNA replication was evaluated in bone marrow cells and peripheral blood lymphocytes of Nesokia females with variant X chromosomes. In bone marrow...
