Observations on the centromere area of human chromosomes

Zusammenfassung

Das dem Centromer der menschlichen Chromosomen (ebenfalls bei andern Arten) anliegende Gebiet erscheint hell, klar und rund. Dies wurde in einigen Zellen bei fast jedem Centromer, bei andern Zellen nur selten oder überhaupt nicht beobachtet. Eine ähnliche Erscheinung trat auch in Form von Streifen auf, die sich manchmal vom Centromer aus zu anliegenden Chromosomen erstreckten oder sich ins Cytoplasma ausbreiteten. Die mögliche Deutung dieser Beobachtung wurde besprochen.
