Abstract

Fluorescence in situ hybridization to metaphase chromosomes or chromatin fibers in interphase nuclei is a powerful technique in mapping genes and DNA segments to specific chromosome region. We have been able to release the chromatin fibers from cells arrested at G1 and G2 phases using different drugs and a simple alkaline lysis procedure. We have also demonstrated specific hybridization of fluorescence-labeled probes to single-copy genomic DNA sequences on the free chromatins. Fluorescence in situ hybridization signals have been detected for sequences separated as close as 21 kilobase pairs and as far as 350 kilobase pairs, with excellent correspondence between the observed and expected distances. The resolution of this technique should approach 10 kilobase pairs and its coverage should span millions of base pairs. Therefore, free chromatin mapping can be generally used to study the structure and organization of mammalian genomes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
