An improved characterization of goat ( Capra hircus , 2n = 60) chromosomes was obtained after a G‐ and R‐banding comparison of the prometaphase chromosomes arranged according to the standard karyotype. GTG‐, GBG‐, RBG, and RBA‐banding made possible construction of G‐ and R‐banded idiograms with a common banding nomenclature. A brief G‐ and R‐banding description of chromosomes 4, 6, 22, 23, 25, 27, 28 and 29 is also given.
