Suppression of quinacrine banding of human chromosomes by mounting in organic media.

abstract：:The interaction of Hoechst 33258 with DNA has been examined to help clarify the mechanisms of banding. 1. In agreement with previous studies Hoechst fluorescence is enhanced to a greater degree in AT-rich compared to GC-rich DNA. 2. Hoechst causes an increase in the DNA Tm which is greater at the higher AT content of ...
