The karyotype of the Australian long-nosed bandicoot (Perameles nasuta)

Abstract
Tissue cultures were established from Australian long-nosed bandicoot pouch young. Chromosome preparations from these cultures showed a karyotype with 12 autosomes and a XX/XY sex chromosome constitution. The six auto-some pairs are individually identifiable. The morphology of each pair is described, and further uses of this interesting karyotype are discussed.
