Technique using Bromodeoxyuridine(BUdR) which is a thymidine analog that can be incorporated into the DNA of replicating cells growing in a medium where such a compound is present. BUdR added to the culture medium in the last hours before harvesting is incorporated into late replicating DNA and induces a condensation delay in late replicating DNA segments, allowing the identification of late replicating chromosomes without the need of autoradiography. 1, record 9, English, - BUdR%20technique
