A modified FISH protocol was developed that minimizes alterations in the normal spatial organization of the nucleus (21) Cells were adhered for 5 min to poly-D-lysine-coated slides, fixed 15 min in 4% paraformaldehyde and 1% methanol in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), washed twice in 0 3 M glycine and PBS, permeabilized for 10 min in 0 5% Tween and 0.2 N HCl, washed twice in 2x saline sodium citrate (SSC), denatured 3 min in 70% tormamide and 2x SSC, washed twice in 0.5% Tween and PBS and twice in 2x SSC at 4°C, then hybridized and washed as previously described (6) without detection steps D15Z1 (pHSR) and D12Z3 (pA12H8, ATCC) were directly labeled by nick translation with Cy3- and Cy5-labeled deoxycytidine triphosphate (Biological Detection), respectively, and nuclei were counterstained with YOPRO (Molecular Probes). Nuclei were imaged by a Molecular Dynamics CLSM Multiprobe 2001 with an Ar/Kr laser. Imagespace software (Molecular Dynamics) was used for scanning, analysis, and projection images Nuclei were densely distributed (Fig. 1A), and we selected clusters of 6 to 20 nuclei by using only the DNA counterstain filter to avoid bias in selection. Optical sections were scanned with a 60x objective at a 0.21, 0.21, 0.29 voxel resolution and a total image size of 512 by 512 pixels. Hybridization efficiency was 85% (number of nuclei with two red and two green signals out of the total number of nuclei scanned, in an average of four representative experiments). The x, y, and z coordinates were defined at the center of each hybridization signal and used to measure 3D distance by a mouse-driven cursor.

21. Mean nuclear diameter was 8 μm with a range of 6 to 12 μm, as determined by the 3D object count feature of Imagespace software No substantial differences in nuclear diameter were observed between different cell cycle fractions
22. The distance of 2 0 μm was chosen on the basis of a comparison of the graph of late S phase lymphocytes to that of premeiotic yeast (22). The degree of nonrandomness was similar, but the scale of the graphs was different because the diameter of yeast nuclei was ∼5 μm, whereas lymphocytes are ∼6 to 12 μm (13). Pairing in premeiosis and meiosis may involve a tighter association between homologs, or yeast chromosomes may have fewer spatial constraints than chromosomes in higher eukaryotes, thus explaining the difference in actual distances.
23. 2), lack of physical spreading of DNA by the altered FISH protocol, and larger probe see (centromeric repeats and 80- to 120-kb P1 clones) In the infrequent cases where replication doublets were observed, the measurement was taken at the point between the two signals Source numbers for P1 clones at Genomesystems are as follows: GABRB3/A5, 2269: D15S113, 6343; D13S104, 6269, D15S128, 7207; and D15S46 (ATCC)
