Peripheral blood cultures from 16 goats (Capra hircus, 2n= 60) were set up to arrange GTG-, GBG-, RBA-, and RBG-banded karyotypes at the prometaphase state according to the goat RBA-standard karyotype. Only the position of chromosomes 4 and 6, as well as that of chromosomes 25 and 29, were inverted according to the cattle standard and to cattle rob (1;29) p-arms. G-and R-banded ideogrammatic representations of goat chromosomes are also repoted using only one common banding nomenclature.
