Abstract excerpt
Aphidicolin (APC)-induced chromosomal gaps and breaks were analyzed for ten deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) from a natural population. The FSM statistical methodology was used to identify fragile sites as chromosomal loci exhibiting significantly non-random numbers of gaps/breaks in each individual and enabled an assessment of variation in fragile sites among the individuals. The individual deer mice exhibited...
