| Abstract: | The MYC gene was mapped to R-banded human prometaphase chromosomes and to chromosomes expressing fra(8)(q24.11) by fluorescence in situ hybridization. By high-resolution banding analysis, the fluorescent signals were localized to R-positive band q24.12----q24.13 of the long arm of chromosome 8. Furthermore, the signals were localized near the middle part, q24.12----q24.13, of the distal portion of fra(8)(q24.11) expression. Thus, the precise localization of MYC was to the subband 8q24.12----q24.13. |
