Abstract excerpt
Physical mapping of genes by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has become routine using fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) for probe detection and propidium iodide (PI) for chromosome staining. We have modified this conventional FISH method in a way that utilizes Texas red (TR) for signal detection and quinacrine mustard (QM) for chromosome banding. Using this Texas red and quinacrine (TRQ) method, we were...
