Nb. Rubtsov et al., Zoo-FISH with region-specific paints for mink chromosome 5q: delineation of inter- and intrachromosomal rearrangements in human, pig, and fox, CYTOG C GEN, 90(3-4), 2000, pp. 268-270
Comparison of evolutionarily conserved mammalian chromosomes homologous to
human chromosome 17, performed with microdissected painting probes, reveale
d rearrangements inside these chromosomes in mink and pig and a disruption
of this conserved region in the fox. Detection of a homologous region on an
Iberian shrew chromosome showed the efficiency of microdissected painting
probes for delineation of homologous chromosome regions in species belongin
g to orders that diverged at least 100 million years ago. Copyright (C) 200
