A new chromosomal form, 2n = 56, NF = 62 and NFa = 58, is determined from the region. C-banding revealed pericentromeric constitutive heterochromatin in one submetacentric and seven acrocentric autosome pairs. Two acrocentric autosome pairs and an acrocentric chromosome with a secondary constriction showed interstitial C-positive bands on their long arms. A secondary constriction was detected in the Y chromosome. The NORs were observed in one medium-sized metacentric autosome pair, and in four acrocentric pairs of autosomes.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMole RatsC-BandingNucleolus Organizer RegionsKaryosystematicTurkeyArticle6816972WOS:0003514126000122-s2.0-8492437062910.1080/00087114.2015.1013706Q3Q4
