Abstract
A method is described for obtaining synaptonemal complex preparations from mouse pachytene oocytes for light and electron microscopic examination. A karyotype based on the whole complement of synaptonemal complexes of a pachytene oocyte as visualized by electron microscopy is presented.This publication has 28 references indexed in Scilit:
