The high-resolution RBA-banding pattern of bovine chromosomes (Bos taurus L.), together with a diagrammatic representation, are presented. The haploid set of prometaphase chromosomes shows 521 bands, 183 of which are positive, 257 negative, and 81 variable. Compared to early metaphase chromosomes, the prometaphase chromosomes show 50 more bands, resulting in a more accurate description of the banding pattern of individual chromosomes of this species.
