New site: Phaseolus polytene chromosomes September 28, 2008
On my new site Phaseolus polytene chromosomes I present a summary of the results on my PhD thesis from 1998. It contains the protocols for chromosome preparation, pretreatment, fluorochrome stainging, as well as the karyogramm, idiogramm, chromosome description including chromosome length measurements of the polytene chromosomes of Phaseolus coccineus.
Especially interesting might be the page Chromosomes A-K. Due to the use of Ajax on this page, the comparison/switch between the different chromosomes is very fast. Check out also the lens icons, which are collapsing additional information.
There is also additional unpublished image material. The image gallery contains several photos for each single chromosome. This is to demonstrate the variety in morphology which makes the identification of this chromosomes so difficult.
