Hi, I have a question about the Giemsa banding 

Some scientific articles show that Giemsa doesn't interact with DNA-related histones.

During karyotyping or R-banding, the dark segments of a chromosome construct heterochromatin and they are rich in A and T, while the clear segments constructs euchromatin and they are rich in G and C.

The question that arises is, Giemsa binds to what in the genome ?, is it binds to A / T or G / C bases ?
