1 May 1993
Abstract excerpt
Abstract It is a widely held belief that the inactive X‐chromosome (Xi) in female cell nuclei is strongly condensed as compared to the largely decondensed active X‐chromosome (Xa). We have reconsidered this problem and painted X‐chromosome domains in nuclei of subconfluent, female and male human amniotic fluid cell cultures (46, XX and 46, XY) by chromosomal in situ suppression (CISS) hybridization with...
