Individual chromosomes can be identified by means of in situ hybridization with DNA probes for chromosome-specific repetitive sequences. The efficiency and sensitivity of the method are strictly dependent on the characteristics of the probes and the experimental conditions. Using three probes with different copy numbers, we demonstrated that the target chromosomes can be visualized in interphase when the homologous sequences are repeated at least 50 times.Possible applications of interphase analysis to clinical cytogenetics and mutagenicity testing are discussed.
可以通过用染色体特异性重复序列的 DNA 探针进行原位杂交来鉴定单个染色体。该方法的效率和灵敏度严格取决于探针的特性和实验条件。使用三个具有不同拷贝数的探针,我们证明了当同源序列重复至少 50 次时,靶染色体可以在间期被可视化。讨论了间期分析在临床细胞遗传学和诱变试验中的可能应用。
