XXIII.—Types of Development of Polytene Chromosomes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 June 2012
Extract
Until a few years ago the small size of the chromosomes limited the methods which could be used for their physical and chemical study. The discovery in 1933 that the salivary gland nuclei of Diptera contained giant multiple or polytene chromosomes threw the field open to the application of a variety of new techniques.
