Journal ArticleDOI
Suppression of human nucleolus organizer activity in mouse-human somatic hybrid cells.
TL;DR: The results support earlier reports that the expression of human ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes is suppressed in mouse-human hybrid cells and suggest that silver staining by the Ag-AS method reflects activity of rRNA genes rather than just the presence of these genes.
Journal Article
Frequency of satellite association of human chromosomes is correlated with amount of Ag-staining of the nucleolus organizer region.
TL;DR: Regression analysis of the 50 acrocentric chromosomes which could be individually identified by quinacrine markers showed that the frequency with which a chromosome was involved in satellite association was strongly correlated with the amount of Ag-stained material in the NOR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleolus organizers in Mus musculus subspecies and in the RAG mouse cell line.
TL;DR: By this criterion six mouse chromosomes, numbers 12, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19, can have an NOR, and there is no correlation between the amount of Ag-stain and the presence or absence of C-band material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping the locus of the H-Y gene on the human Y chromosome.

TL;DR: The H-Y locus is on the short arm of the human Y chromosome in most individuals but on the long arm in at least one of 17 individuals with structural abnormalities of the Y.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of nucleolus organizer regions in chromosomes of human, chimpanzee, gorilla, orangutan and gibbon.
TL;DR: Nucleolus organizer regions were detected by the Ag-AS silver method in fixed metaphase chromosomes from human and primates in each case the sites which have been shown by in situ hybridization to contain the ribosomal RNA genes.
