The use of a Quantimet image analysis system to analyse trypsin banding patterns of V79/4 (AH1) Chinese hamster chromosomes

Summary A Quantimet image-analysis system was programmed to identify and print out banding patterns from G-banded chromosome spreads of a clone derived from the established cell line V79/4 (Chinese hamster fibroblasts), designated V79/4(AH1).Acknowledgments.
