A) Schematic summary of the aMCB results obtained on chromosome 3, each for the used three lengths of the chromosome. For a better overview the three different aMCB banding patterns are depicted in equal sizes, each. The corresponding G banding ideograms of chromosome 3 at the 300-, 550-, or 850-band level (right side of each aMCB scheme) were used for comparison of the three different stages. The arrows indicate the chromosome swelling appearing in the different sub-bands. B) Schematic drawing depicting which regions are homologous between chromosome 3 at the 300-band stage and at the 850-band stage, as defined based on the aMCB-results. Note that only G-dark bands split into additional sub-bands
