A method for simultaneously obtaining brilliant G-banding and chromosome painting is described. It is based on a modification of methods enabling the detection of incorporated BrdU by anti-BrdU antibodies conjugated to a fluorochrome. It induces a banding of both painted and non-painted chromosomes. The method was adapted for in situ hybridizations on human and non human (ZOO-FISH) chromosomes.
