Sister chromatid exchanges in the active and inactive X chromosomes

Chromosoma Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Lymphocyte cultures from female cattle in two geographic locations were used to determine the frequency of occurrence of sister chromatid exchanges on the active and inactive X chromosomes. The distribution of 129 exchanges among the two X chromosomes was not significantly different from a 1∶1 ratio.
