Table 2 Dual color FISH used to distinguish the chromosomes pairs of the Regions 2, 3 and 4.

Dual color FISH

Chromosomes pairs

 

Region 2

S2B × S2C

1 (color of S2C); 2 (color of S2B); 16 (two color)

R2 × S2A

3 (color of R2); 1, 2, 16 (two color)

R2 × S2B

2, 16 (two color); 1, 3 (color of R2) - define pair 3 for exclusion of pair 1

 

Region 3

S3B × S3C

7 (two color); 19 (color of S3B)

S3A × S3D

18 (color of S3D); 5, 6, 7, 17 (two color)

S3A × S3B

7 (two color); 19 (color of S3B); 5, 6, 17 (color of S3A)

R3 × S3D

5, 6, 7, 17, 18 (two color); 4, 8, 19 (color of R3) - define pairs 4,8 for exclusion of pair 19

 

Region 4

S4A × S4B

14 (color of S4B); 12, 13, 15 (two color)

R4 × S4C

9, 14 (color of R4); 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 21 (two color) - define pair 9 for exclusion of pair 14

S4B × S4D

21 (color of S4D); 12, 13, 14, 15 (two color)

S4C × S4D

14 (color of S4D); 10, 11 (color of S4C), 12, 13, 15, 21 (two color)

  1. The dual color FISH allowed the distinction of all four chromosome pairs from Region 2. In Region 3, this allowed the distinction of pairs 7, 18 and 19. It is not possible to distinguish pairs {4, 8} and {5, 6, 17}. In region 4, this allowed the distinction of pairs 9, 14 and 21. It is not possible to distinguish pairs {10, 11} and {12, 13, 15}.
