Pachytene chromosomes in Luscinia megarhynchos (a) and L. luscinia (b) immunostained with SYCP3 antibody against the lateral elements of the synaptonemal complex (red) and CREST antibody against centromere (green). Arrowheads indicate the GRCs. The box in the top right corner shows the GRC in more detail (1.5x magnification) without the CREST signal. The scale bar represents 10 µm. Approximately 100 nuclei in 3 individuals per species were observed before choosing these representative examples.
