Hoechst-stained replication-banded karyotype of the female X. laevis (XLA). Each chromosome was numbered following our previous karyotypic study of X. laevis (Uno et al., 2008). Chromosomes were grouped as homoeologous chromosome pairs (XLA1+2, 3+8, 12+16, 13+17, 4+5, 6+9, 7+10, 11+14 and 15+18) according to comparative gene mapping in this study (Figure 3). Small size variation of chromosomes between individuals was found for XLA12p (Uno et al., 2008), which depends on the size differences of the 18S–28S ribosomal gene cluster on the short arm (data not shown). Scale bar=10 μm.
