SUMMARY

A centromeric heterochromatin (Hc) comparison of two substrains of the mouse inbred strain 101 with another two, revealed differences in at least two and possibly in up to six chromosome pairs. The differences could have arisen by the inclusion of chromosomes from the inbred strain C3H/He.
