Abstract
Using the technique of 'fibre-FISH' (fluorescence in situ hybridization), w e describe the direct visualization of seven longer DAZ signal stretches an d in addition a maximum of four isolated single DAZ signals on Y-chromatin fibres of four different individuals. These seven longer DAZ signal stretch es may represent seven DAZ genes or pseudogenes, whereas the single DAZ sig nals may represent truncated DAZ genes.
