From: Chromosome map of the Siamese cobra: did partial synteny of sex chromosomes in the amniote represent “a hypothetical ancestral super-sex chromosome” or random distribution?

Karyotype and metaphase spread of the Siamese cobra (Naja kaouthia). Giemsa- (a), grey images of DAPI-stained karyotypes (b), and C-banded metaphase spread (c) of female Siamese cobra (N. kaouthia). FISH patterns of the telomeric (TTAGGG)n sequence on DAPI-stained metaphase chromosome spreads of female Siamese cobra (N. kaouthia) (d). Arrows indicate the centromeric region of chromosome 2 and arrowheads indicate signals of interstitial telomeric sites. “Z” indicates Z sex chromosome, and “W” indicates W sex chromosome. Scale bar represents 10 μm
