The heteromorphisms of C-band regions of human chromosomes are evaluated by means of restriction endonucleases AluI, DdeI, MboI, and RsaI. Every chromosome exhibits heteromorphic markers of the C-band regions except chromosome 8. Each enzyme was found to be highly characteristic in its staining profile, a result that clearly suggests the diversity of heterochromatin. The inherent C-band-region heterochromatin variability that is revealed by these enzymes provides a valuable tool in identifying markers as compared with other previously described techniques.
利用限制性内切酶AluI、DdeI、MboI和RsaI对人类染色体C带区域的异态性进行评估。除8号染色体外,每条染色体均表现出C带区域的异态性标记。发现每种酶在其染色图谱中都具有高度特征性,这一结果清楚地表明了异染色质的多样性。与其他先前描述的技术相比,这些酶所揭示的固有C带区域异染色质变异性为识别标记提供了一种有价值的工具。
