Abstract:
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is widely used in cytogenetics to determine the localization of DNA sequences on target chromosomes, to provide visible information regarding the physical position of DNA sequences, to determine the abundance and distribution of repetitive sequences that comprise a large proportion of genomes, and to determine the relative chromosome positions of multiple sequences in physical mapping. By mapping on extended chromatin fibers, fiber-FISH can be used to determine the structure and organization of genes or DNA sequences with a high resolution (to a few kilobases). The protocols described here will provide procedures of FISH on metaphase chromosomes and extended chromatin fibers of rice (Oryza sativa). © 2016 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
