A. Sensi et al., SYNTENIC GROUPS BETWEEN HUMAN-CHROMOSOME 9 AND INDIAN MUNTJAC CHROMOSOMES REVEALED BY ZOO-FISH, European journal of histochemistry, 39(4), 1995, pp. 317-320
The recent techniques of chromosome painting allow the molecular compa
rison of chromosomes from distantly related mammals. Here we show a mo
dified ZOO-FISH technique based on lower stringency which allows to id
entify syntenic regions between human and Indian muntjac chromosomes.
While when probing with human chromosome 2, no consistent cluster of h
ybridization were observed, with human chromosome 9, a number of discr
ete fluorescent regions along the Indian muntjac chromosomes were foun
d.
