G-banding is obtained with Giemsa stain following digestion of chromosomes with trypsin. It yields a series of lightly and Q-banding is a fluorescent pattern obtained using quinacrine for staining.

The sequences of the human genome compiled in DNA databases are now about 10 megabase pairs (Mb), and thus the size of the sequences is several times the average size of chromosome bands at high resolution.

1. Chromosome banding patterns provide independent confirmation of relationship in hominoids, in addition to anatomical, physiological, genetic, and molecular evidence. 1. actively engage in the careful analysis of chromosome banding patterns.

The polytene chromosomes found in the salivary glands of Drosophila larvae (and other diptera), provide a valuable model system in which microscopical techniques can be used to study the functioning of the interphase genome. Chromosome banding patterns, revealed by simple DNA stains or phase contrast,
