A practical method of chromosome classification on the basis of centromere position

Abstract: Chromosomes have been classified into six categories based on centromere position-M, m, sm, st, t, T, of which only M (isochromosome) and T (telocentric) can be identified quickly with certainty. A template is illustrated which can be used to place any chromosome immediately into its correct category without the need to measure arm length.
