Conservation of human vs. feline genome organization revealed by reciprocal chromosome painting. of special interest Cytogenet Cell Genet. 77:1997;211-217 This publication revealed, by direct observation, widespread conservation of the genome organisation between two mammalian orders and confirmed that >90% of the homologous genes already mapped to both species. In the cat/human reciprocal hybridisations, ~30 syntenic segments were identified and the number of translocations can be estimated on the order of one new translocation per 10 million years. This paper also demonstrated how a reciprocal painting approach is fundamental for unambiguous ascertainment of chromosome homology and comparative gene mapping between distantly related species.

This will be especially helpful for analysing chromosome rearrangements within the respective order because hybridisation efficiency and resolution will be considerably higher than when using probes derived from different orders.

Karyotyping human chromosomes by combinatorial multi-fluor FISH. of outstanding interest Nat Genet. 12:1996;368-375 The authors present a filter-based approach to differentiate all 24 human chromosomes in one hybridisation experiment. They use multiple exposures through single band-pass filter sets for image acquisition for each fluorochrome followed by software-based image registration and data analysis. A classification algorithm was applied which allowed them to recognise each chromosome on the basis of the combination of fluorochrome labels and to identify chromosome rearrangements.

The human bar code probe readily allowed all gorilla homologous chromosomes (Figure 4b) and those from various other primate species to be identified. The two chromosomes homologous to human chromosome 2p and 2q and the reciprocal translocation between chromosomes homologous to human chromosome 5 and 17 in the gorilla could also be verified by the bar code probe, as well as the size difference of the chromosome Iq12 heterochromatic block.

Integration of the cytogenetic, genetic, and physical maps of the human genome by FISH mapping of CEPH YAC clones. of special interest Genomics. 32:1996;1-14 This paper provides a landmark set of YACs for the entire human karyotype including ~800 probes. The authors make use of CEPH Mega-YAC library clones that contain short tandem repeat polymorphisms (STRPs) placed 15 cM apart along the human genetic map. This probe set will allow a comparison of the human genetic and cytogenetic map with the cytogenetic map of any higher primate based on FISH with these probes (see [23, 35]).
