C-banding pattern on the chromosomes of the Japanese house shrew,Suncus murinus riukiuanus, and its implication

Abstract
The C-band on the chromosomes of the Japanese house shrew,Suncus murinus riukiuanus (Insectivora), was studied. Various types of C-banding pattern were found in the genome of this subspecies. Such banding patterns could be useful for an understanding of autosome and sex-chromosome polymorphisms withinS. murinus.
