Examples of cross species hybridizations. Chromosome numbers refer to the original pairs in Gymnotus 2n = 42 a) R1 (pair 20 red); b) S2B + R2 (pairs 1 and 3 green; pairs 2 and 16 yellow) c) S2B + S2C (pair 1 red, pair 2 green and pair 16 yellow) d) S3C (pair 7 red); e) S3A + S3B (pair 19 green, pair 7 yellow, pair {5, 6, 17} red); f) S4C + R4 (pairs 9 and 14 green; pairs 10, 11, 12, 13, 15 and 21 yellow). Arrows on b, c, e and f point to the NOR region where nonspecific hybridizations occur. All the chromosomes were counterstained with DAPI; red probes: Cy3; green probes: FITC.
