FISH using pairs of probes from distant segments of the same yeast chromosome reveals pairing of homologues in diploidinterphase nuclei (ref). In a minority of nuclei, the pairing of homologous loci is particularly intimate. Full article >>>
In this newer technique, several different probes specific of one chromosome pair, carrying different amounts of a set of fluorescent dyes, are hybridized to the chromosomes in a technique known as fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Full article >>>
FISH permits analysis of proliferating ( metaphasecells ) and non-proliferating ( interphase nuclei ) cells and is useful in determining the percentage of neoplastic cells before and after therapy (minimal residual disease) (see examples at ... Full article >>>
