  1. * - The correlation between the particular lampbrush chromosomes is established only according to their relative length.
  2. Abbreviations:
  3. s/t - subtelomeric position of marker structure.
  4. t - telomeric position of marker structure.
  5. i/c - intercalary position of marker structure.
