Significant progress has been made in the construction of genetic maps in the tetraploid cotton Gossypium hirsutum. However, six linkage groups (LGs) have still not been assigned to specific chromosomes, which is a hindrance for integrated genetic map construction. In the present research, specific bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones constructed in G. hirsutum acc. TM-1 for these six LGs were identified by screening the BAC library using linkage group-specific simple-sequence repeats markers. These BAC clones were hybridized to ten translocation heterozygotes of G. hirsutum. L as BAC-fluorescence in situ hybridization probes, which allowed us to assign these six LGs A01, A02, A03, D02, D03, and D08 to chromosomes 13, 8, 11, 21, 24, and 19, respectively. Therefore, the 13 homeologous chromosome pairs have been established, and we have proposed a new chromosome nomenclature for tetraploid cotton. 相似文献

细菌人工染色体荧光原位杂交(BAC-FISH)技术是植物染色体识别、物理作图等分子细胞遗传学研究的重要工具,但对于某些物种尤其是多倍体植物,由于大量重复序列的存在等问题,使得该技术应用受到很大的限制.通过选择棉花分子遗传图中高重组区的微卫星位点(simple sequence repeats,SSR)标记的策略,筛选到不含或含有少量重复序列的细菌人工染色体(BAC)克隆,同时,在通用FISH技术程序基础上,通过改进发根、变性、洗脱条件等步骤,构建出适合于棉花的BAC-FISH技术,简化了操作流程的同时,获得稳定的杂交结果及较高的检出率;并通过将一随机获得的BAC进行染色体的物理定位,进一步引入双探针、双色及重复杂交技术,显示了该技术的成熟与良好的应用前景和价值. 相似文献

Development and applications of a set of chromosome-specific cytogenetic DNA markers in potato 总被引:18,自引:5,他引:13

Reliable and easy to use techniques for chromosome identification are critical for many aspects of cytogenetic research. Unfortunately,
such techniques are not available in many plant species, especially those with a large number of small chromosomes. Here we
demonstrate that fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) signals derived from bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) can
be used as chromosome-specific cytogenetic DNA markers for chromosome identification in potato. We screened a potato BAC library
using genetically mapped restriction fragment length polymorphism markers as probes. The identified BAC clones were then labeled
as probes for FISH analysis. A set of 12 chromosome-specific BAC clones were isolated and the FISH signals derived from these
BAC clones serve as convenient and reliable cytological markers for potato chromosome identification. We mapped the 5S rRNA
genes, the 45S rRNA genes, and a potato late blight resistance gene to three specific potato chromosomes using the chromosome-specific
BAC clones.

A molecular cytogenetic map of sorghum chromosome 1. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis with mapped bacterial artificial chromosomes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

We used structural genomic resources for Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench to target and develop multiple molecular cytogenetic probes that would provide extensive coverage for a specific chromosome of sorghum. Bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones containing molecular markers mapped across sorghum linkage group A were labeled as probes for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Signals from single-, dual-, and multiprobe BAC-FISH to spreads of mitotic chromosomes and pachytene bivalents were associated with the largest sorghum chromosome, which bears the nucleolus organizing region (NOR). The order of individual BAC-FISH loci along the chromosome was fully concordant to that of marker loci along the linkage map. In addition, the order of several tightly linked molecular markers was clarified by FISH analysis. The FISH results indicate that markers from the linkage map positions 0.0-81.8 cM reside in the short arm of chromosome 1 whereas markers from 81.8-242.9 cM are located in the long arm of chromosome 1. The centromere and NOR were located in a large heterochromatic region that spans approximately 60% of chromosome 1. In contrast, this region represents only 0.7% of the total genetic map distance of this chromosome. Variation in recombination frequency among euchromatic chromosomal regions also was apparent. The integrated data underscore the value of cytological data, because minor errors and uncertainties in linkage maps can involve huge physical regions. The successful development of multiprobe FISH cocktails suggests that it is feasible to develop chromosome-specific "paints" from genomic resources rather than flow sorting or microdissection and that when applied to pachytene chromatin, such cocktails provide an especially powerful framework for mapping. Such a molecular cytogenetic infrastructure would be inherently cross-linked with other genomic tools and thereby establish a cytogenomics system with extensive utility in development and application of genomic resources, cloning, transgene localization, development of plant "chromonomics," germplasm introgression, and marker-assisted breeding. In combination with previously reported work, the results indicate that a sorghum cytogenomics system would be partially applicable to other gramineous genera. 相似文献

Development of Chromosome-specific Cytogenetic Markers and Merging of Linkage Fragments in Papaya 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Carica papaya L. is a tropical and sub-tropical fruit-tree crop with a small genome and nine pairs of chromosomes. The transgenic cultivar ‘SunUp’ has been sequenced and three high-density genetic maps are available for mapping agronomically and economically-important traits. However, the small size and similar morphology of papaya chromosomes hinder their identification and few cytological resources are available for integration of genetic and cytogenetic information. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was performed on mitotic metaphase chromosomes using BAC clones harboring mapped simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers as probes. A total of 104 BAC clones covering all 12 linkage groups (LGs) were tested and 12 of them, that gave a single specific signal, were chosen as representative of the 12 LGs of the SSR genetic map. This set of chromosome-specific DNA markers acted as a foundation for papaya chromosome karyotyping and re-assigning orientation of LGs. Chromosome-specific markers allowed us to assign the minor LGs 10, 11, and 12 to major LGs 8, 9, and 7, respectively. We thus reduced the number of LGs in the genetic map to nine, corresponding to the haploid number of papaya chromosomes. We also tested the relative order of DNA markers on minor LGs 10 and 11 to place them on top of LGs 8 and 9 in the correct orientation. Ribosomal DNAs (rDNAs), a set of major cytogenetic markers, were positioned on specific papaya chromosomes. The 25S rDNA showed strong signals at the constriction site of a single pair of chromosomes identified as LG 2 by LG 2-specific BAC clone. The 5S rDNA showed strong signals on two pairs of chromosomes that are syntenic with LG 4- and LG 5-specific BAC clones. This integrated map will facilitate genome assembly, quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping, and the study of cytological, physical and genetic distance relationships between papaya chromosomes. 相似文献

The successful assignment of the existing genetic linkage groups (LGs) to individual chromosomes and the second-generation linkage map obtained by mapping a large number of bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) contigs in the silkworm, Bombyx mori, together with public nucleotide sequence databases, offer a powerful tool for the study of synteny between karyotypes of B. mori and other lepidopteran species. Conserved synteny of genes between particular chromosomes can be identified by comparatively mapping orthologous genes of the corresponding linkage groups with the help of BAC-FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization). This technique was established in B. mori for 2 differently labeled BAC probes simultaneously hybridized to pachytene bivalents. To achieve higher-throughput comparative mapping using BAC-FISH in Lepidoptera, we developed a protocol for five-color BAC-FISH, which allowed us to map simultaneously 6 different BAC probes to chromosome 15 in B. mori. We identified orthologs of 6 B. mori LG15 genes (RpP0, RpS8, eIF3, RpL7A, RpS23, and Hsc70) for the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta, and selected the ortholog-containing BAC clones from an M. sexta BAC library. All 6 M. sexta BAC clones hybridized to a single M. sexta bivalent in pachytene spermatocytes. Thus, we have confirmed the conserved synteny between the B. mori chromosome 15 and the corresponding M. sexta chromosome (hence provisionally termed chromosome 15). 相似文献

A molecular cytogenetic map of Medicago truncatula (2n = 2x = 16) was constructed on the basis of a pachytene DAPI karyogram. Chromosomes at this meiotic prophase stage are 20 times longer than at mitotic metaphase, and display a well differentiated pattern of brightly fluorescing heterochromatin segments. We describe here a pachytene karyogram in which all chromosomes can be identified based on chromosome length, centromere position, heterochromatin patterns, and the positions of three repetitive sequences (5S rDNA, 45S rDNA and the MtR1 tandem repeat), visualized by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). We determined the correlation between genetic linkage groups and chromosomes by FISH mapping of bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones, with two to five BACs per linkage group. In the cytogenetic map, chromosomes were numbered according to their corresponding linkage groups. We determined the relative positions of the 20 BACs and three repetitive sequences on the pachytene chromosomes, and compared the genetic and cytological distances between markers. The mapping resolution was determined in a euchromatic part of chromosome 5 by comparing the cytological distances between FISH signals of clones of a BAC contig with their corresponding physical distance, and showed that resolution in this region is about 60 kb. The establishment of this FISH pachytene karyotype, with a far better mapping resolution and detection sensitivity compared to those in the highly condensed mitotic metaphase complements, has created the basis for the integration of molecular, genetic and cytogenetic maps in M. truncatula. 相似文献

Completely distinguishing individual A-genome chromosomes and their karyotyping analysis by multiple bacterial artificial chromosome - fluorescence in situ hybridization 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
Twenty bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones that could produce bright signals and no or very low fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) background were identified from Gossypium arboreum cv. JLZM, and G. hirsutum accession (acc.) TM-1 and 0-613-2R. Combining with 45S and 5S rDNA, a 22-probe cocktail that could identify all 13 G. arboreum chromosomes simultaneously was developed. According to their homology with tetraploid cotton, the G. arboreum chromosomes were designated as A1-A13, and a standard karyotype analysis of G. arboreum was presented. These results demonstrated an application for multiple BAC-FISH in cotton cytogenetic studies and a technique to overcome the problem of simultaneous chromosome recognition in mitotic cotton cells. 相似文献

Fine mapping and positional cloning will eventually improve with the anchoring of additional markers derived from genomic
clones such as BACs. From 2,603 new BAC-end genomic sequences from Gossypium hirsutum Acala ‘Maxxa’, 1,316 PCR primer pairs (designated as MUSB) were designed to flank microsatellite or simple sequence repeat
motif sequences. Most (1164 or 88%) MUSB primer pairs successfully amplified DNA from three species of cotton with an average
of three amplicons per marker and 365 markers (21%) were polymorphic between G.
hirsutum and G. barbadense. An interspecific RIL population developed from the above two entries was used to map 433 marker loci and 46 linkage groups
with a genetic distance of 2,126.3 cM covering approximately 45% of the cotton genome and an average distance between two
loci of 4.9 cM. Based on genome-specific chromosomes identified in G. hirsutum tetraploid (A and D), 56.9% of the coverage was located on the A subgenome while 39.7% was assigned to the D subgenome in
the genetic map, suggesting that the A subgenome may be more polymorphic and recombinationally active than originally thought.
The linkage groups were assigned to 23 of the 26 chromosomes. This is the first genetic map in which the linkage groups A01
and A02/D03 have been assigned to specific chromosomes. In addition the MUSB-derived markers from BAC-end sequences markers
allows fine genetic and QTL mapping of important traits and for the first time provides reconciliation of the genetic and
physical maps. Limited QTL analyses suggested that loci on chromosomes 2, 3, 12, 15 and 18 may affect variation in fiber quality
traits. The original BAC clones containing the newly mapped MUSB that tag the QTLs provide critical DNA regions for the discovery
of gene sequences involved in biological processes such as fiber development and pest resistance in cotton.

The reliability of genome analysis and proficiency of genetic manipulation requires knowledge of the correspondence between the genetic and cytogenetic maps. In the present study, we integrated cytogenetic and microsatellite-based linkage maps for Zhikong scallop, Chlamys farreri. Thirty-eight marker-anchored BAC clones standing for the 19 linkage groups were used to be FISH probes. Of 38 BAC clones, 30 were successfully located on single chromosome by FISH and used to integrate the genetic and cytogenetic map. Among the 19 linkage groups, 12 linkage groups were physically anchored by 2 markers, 6 linkage groups were anchored by 1 marker, and one linkage group was not anchored any makers by FISH. In addition, using two-color FISH, six linkage groups were distinguished by different chromosomal location; linkage groups LG6 and LG16 were placed on chromosome 10, LG8 and LG18 on chromosome 14. As a result, 18 of 19 linkage groups were localized to 17 pairs of chromosomes of C. farreri. We first integrated genetic and cytogenetic map for C. farreri. These 30 chromosome specific BAC clones in the cytogenetic map could be used to identify chromosomes of C. farreri. The integrated map will greatly facilitate molecular genetic studies that will be helpful for breeding applications in C. farreri and the upcoming genome projects of this species. 相似文献

BAC-FISH in wheat identifies chromosome landmarks consisting of different types of transposable elements 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has been widely used in the physical mapping of genes and chromosome landmarks in plants and animals. Bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) contain large inserts making them amenable for FISH mapping. We used BAC-FISH to study genome organization and evolution in hexaploid wheat and its relatives. We selected 56 restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) locus-specific BAC clones from libraries of Aegilops tauschii (the D-genome donor of hexaploid wheat) and A-genome diploid Triticum monococcum. Different types of repetitive sequences were identified using BAC-FISH. Two BAC clones gave FISH patterns similar to the repetitive DNA family pSc119; one BAC clone gave a FISH pattern similar to the repetitive DNA family pAs1. In addition, we identified several novel classes of repetitive sequences: one BAC clone hybridized to the centromeric regions of wheat and other cereal species, except rice; one BAC clone hybridized to all subtelomeric chromosome regions in wheat, rye, barley and oat; one BAC clone contained a localized tandem repeat and hybridized to five D-genome chromosome pairs in wheat; and four BAC clones hybridized only to a proximal region in the long arm of chromosome 4A of hexaploid wheat. These repeats are valuable markers for defined chromosome regions and can also be used for chromosome identification. Sequencing results revealed that all these repeats are transposable elements (TEs), indicating the important role of TEs, especially retrotransposons, in genome evolution of wheat.Communicated by P.B.

Background
Tetraploid cotton contains two sets of homologous chromosomes, the At- and Dt-subgenomes. Consequently, many markers in cotton were mapped to multiple positions during linkage genetic map construction, posing a challenge to anchoring linkage groups and mapping economically-important genes to particular chromosomes. Chromosome-specific markers could solve this problem. Recently, the genomes of two diploid species were sequenced whose progenitors were putative contributors of the At- and Dt-subgenomes to tetraploid cotton. These sequences provide a powerful tool for developing chromosome-specific markers given the high level of synteny among tetraploid and diploid cotton genomes. In this study, simple sequence repeats (SSRs) on each chromosome in the two diploid genomes were characterized. Chromosome-specific SSRs were developed by comparative analysis and proved to distinguish chromosomes.Results
A total of 200,744 and 142,409 SSRs were detected on the 13 chromosomes of Gossypium arboreum L. and Gossypium raimondii Ulbrich, respectively. Chromosome-specific SSRs were obtained by comparing SSR flanking sequences from each chromosome with those from the other 25 chromosomes. The average was 7,996 per chromosome. To confirm their chromosome specificity, these SSRs were used to distinguish two homologous chromosomes in tetraploid cotton through linkage group construction. The chromosome-specific SSRs and previously-reported chromosome markers were grouped together, and no marker mapped to another homologous chromosome, proving that the chromosome-specific SSRs were unique and could distinguish homologous chromosomes in tetraploid cotton. Because longer dinucleotide AT-rich repeats were the most polymorphic in previous reports, the SSRs on each chromosome were sorted by motif type and repeat length for convenient selection. The primer sequences of all chromosome-specific SSRs were also made publicly available.Conclusion
Chromosome-specific SSRs are efficient tools for chromosome identification by anchoring linkage groups to particular chromosomes during genetic mapping and are especially useful in mapping of qualitative-trait genes or quantitative trait loci with just a few markers. The SSRs reported here will facilitate a number of genetic and genomic studies in cotton, including construction of high-density genetic maps, positional gene cloning, fingerprinting, and genetic diversity and comparative evolutionary analyses among Gossypium species.Electronic supplementary material

BAC (bacterial artificial chromosome) clones from the genomic BAC library of the narrow-leafed lupin (Lupinus angustifolius) were used for cytogenetic mapping of mitotic metaphase chromosomes of that species by the BAC-FISH technique. Location of
the clones, together with cytogenetic markers localised earlier by FISH (fluorescencein situ hybridisation) and PRINS (primedin situ DNA labelling), was combined with computer-aided chromosome measurements, to construct the first idiogram of the narrow-leafed
lupin. The chromosomes are meta- or submetacentric; the mean absolute chromosome lengths range from 1.9 μm to 3.8 μm, and
mean relative lengths from 1.6% to 3.3%. Data concerning linkage of resistance to 2 fungal pathogens as well as assignment
of the second linkage group to the appropriate chromosome are given for the first time. 相似文献

Bacterial artificial chromosomes (BAC) have been widely used for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) mapping of chromosome landmarks in different organisms, including a few in teleosts. In this study, we used BAC-FISH to consolidate the previous genetic and cytogenetic maps of the turbot (Scophthalmus maximus), a commercially important pleuronectiform. The maps consisted of 24 linkage groups (LGs) but only 22 chromosomes. All turbot LGs were assigned to specific chromosomes using BAC probes obtained from a turbot 5× genomic BAC library. It consisted of 46,080 clones with inserts of at least 100 kb and <5 % empty vectors. These BAC probes contained gene-derived or anonymous markers, most of them linked to quantitative trait loci (QTL) related to productive traits. BAC clones were mapped by FISH to unique marker-specific chromosomal positions, which showed a notable concordance with previous genetic mapping data. The two metacentric pairs were cytogenetically assigned to LG2 and LG16, and the nucleolar organizer region (NOR)-bearing pair was assigned to LG15. Double-color FISH assays enabled the consolidation of the turbot genetic map into 22 linkage groups by merging LG8 with LG18 and LG21 with LG24. In this work, a first-generation probe panel of BAC clones anchored to the turbot linkage and cytogenetical map was developed. It is a useful tool for chromosome traceability in turbot, but also relevant in the context of pleuronectiform karyotypes, which often show small hardly identifiable chromosomes. This panel will also be valuable for further integrative genomics of turbot within Pleuronectiformes and teleosts, especially for fine QTL mapping for aquaculture traits, comparative genomics, and whole-genome assembly. 相似文献

The developments of molecular marker-based genetic linkage maps are now routine. Physical maps based on contigs of large insert
genomic clones have been established in several plant species. However, integration of genetic, physical, and cytological
maps is still a challenge for most plant species. Here we present an integrated map of rice (Oryza sativa L.) chromosome 5, developed by fluorescence in situ hybridization mapping of 18 bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones
or PI-derived artificial chromosome (PAC) clones on meiotic pachytene chromosomes. Each BAC/PAC clone was anchored by a restriction
fragment length polymorphism marker mapped to the rice genetic linkage map. This molecular cytogenetic map shows the genetic
recombination and sequence information of a physical map, correlated to the cytological features of rice chromosome 5. Detailed
comparisons of the distances between markers on genetic, cytological, and physical maps, revealed the distributions of recombination
events and molecular organization of the chromosomal features of rice chromosome 5 at the pachytene stage. Discordance of
distances between the markers was found among the different maps. Our results revealed that neither the recombination events
nor the degree of chromatin condensation were evenly distributed along the entire length of chromosome 5. Detailed comparisons
of the correlative positions of markers on the genetic, cytological, and physical maps of rice chromosome 5 provide insight
into the molecular architecture of rice chromosome 5, in relation to its cytological features and recombination events on
the genetic map. The prospective applications of such an integrated cytogenetic map are discussed. 相似文献

The rainbow trout genetic linkage groups have been assigned to specific chromosomes in the OSU (2N=60) strain using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with BAC probes containing genes mapped to each linkage group. There was a rough correlation between chromosome size and size of the genetic linkage map in centimorgans for the genetic maps based on recombination from the female parent. Chromosome size and structure have a major impact on the female:male recombination ratio, which is much higher (up to 10:1 near the centromeres) on the larger metacentric chromosomes compared to smaller acrocentric chromosomes. Eighty percent of the BAC clones containing duplicate genes mapped to a single chromosomal location, suggesting that diploidization resulted in substantial divergence of intergenic regions. The BAC clones that hybridized to both duplicate loci were usually located in the distal portion of the chromosome. Duplicate genes were almost always found at a similar location on the chromosome arm of two different chromosome pairs, suggesting that most of the chromosome rearrangements following tetraploidization were centric fusions and did not involve homeologous chromosomes. The set of BACs compiled for this research will be especially useful in construction of genome maps and identification of QTL for important traits in other salmonid fishes. 相似文献

The reliability of genome analysis and proficiency of genetic manipulation are increased by assignment of linkage groups to specific chromosomes, placement of centromeres, and orientation with respect to telomeres. We have endeavored to establish means to enable these steps in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), the genome of which contains ca. 780 Mbp spread across n = 10 chromosomes. Our approach relies on fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and integrated structural genomic resources, including large-insert genomic clones in bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries. To develop robust FISH probes, we selected sorghum BACs by association with molecular markers that map near the ends of linkage groups, in regions inferred to be high in recombination. Overall, we selected 22 BACs that encompass the 10 linkage groups. As a prelude to development of a multiprobe FISH cocktail, we evaluated BAC-derived probes individually and in small groups. Biotin- and digoxygenin-labeled probes were made directly from the BAC clones and hybridized in situ to chromosomes without using suppressive unlabelled C0t-1 DNA. Based on FISH-signal strength and the relative degree of background signal, we judged 19 BAC-derived probes to be satisfactory. Based on their relative position, and collective association with all 10 linkage groups, we chose 17 of the 19 BACs to develop a 17-locus probe cocktail for dual-color detection. FISH of the cocktail allowed simultaneous identification of all 10 chromosomes. The results indicate that linkage and physical maps of sorghum allow facile selection of BAC clones according to position and FISH-signal quality. This capability will enable development of a high-quality molecular cytogenetic map and an integrated genomics system for sorghum, without need of chromosome flow sorting or microdissection. Moreover, transgeneric FISH experiments suggest that the sorghum system might be applicable to other Gramineae. 相似文献

Chromosome identification using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) genomic bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones has the potential to contribute to the analysis and understanding of chromosomal instability of CHO cell lines and to improve our understanding of chromosome organization during the establishment of recombinant CHO cells. Fluorescence in situ hybridization imaging using BAC clones as probes (BAC-FISH) can provide valuable information for the identification of chromosomes. In this study, we identified chromosomes and analyzed the chromosome rearrangement in CHO cells using BAC-FISH methods. 相似文献

A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library of banana (Musa acuminata) was used to select BAC clones that carry low amounts of repetitive DNA sequences and could be suitable as probes for fluorescence
in situ hybridization (FISH) on mitotic metaphase chromosomes. Out of eighty randomly selected BAC clones, only one clone gave a
single-locus signal on chromosomes of M. acuminata cv. Calcutta 4. The clone localized on a chromosome pair that carries a cluster of 5S rRNA genes. The remaining BAC clones
gave dispersed FISH signals throughout the genome and/or failed to produce any signal. In order to avoid the excessive hybridization
of repetitive DNA sequences, we subcloned nineteen BAC clones and selected their ‘low-copy’ subclones. Out of them, one subclone
gave specific signal in secondary constriction on one chromosome pair; three subclones were localized into centromeric and
peri-centromeric regions of all chromosomes. Other subclones were either localized throughout the banana genome or their use
did not result in visible FISH signals. The nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that subclones, which localized on different
regions of all chromosomes, contained short fragments of various repetitive DNA sequences. The chromosome-specific BAC clone
identified in this work increases the number of useful cytogenetic markers for Musa. 相似文献

The identification of individual dog chromosomes is problematic because the 38 pairs of autosomes are small and acrocentric. Here we describe the design and application of a FISH tool that enables definitive identification of each dog autosome in a normal karyotype, without relying on subjective interpretation of DAPI banding patterns. From a high-resolution physical map of the canine genome, we have chosen a panel of 80 canine chromosome-specific BAC clones. DNA from each clone is labeled with one of five different fluorochrome-conjugated nucleotides. By selecting one to three spatially separated BACs per chromosome, and labelling them with a distinctive combination of colours, each autosome can be identified objectively and orientated accurately, irrespective of the quality of DAPI chromosome banding. This tool, or part of it, can be used for any purpose where accurate identification of canine autosomes in a normal karyotype is essential. In this study, we demonstrate use of the 'colour code' for chromosome identification following CGH analysis of unbalanced genomic aberrations in a canine brain tumour. Our method is an improvement of an earlier procedure, featuring chromosome-specific BACs and sequential FISH hybridisations, as it enables simultaneous identification of all chromosomes in a single hybridisation. 相似文献
