PG - 303-313 LID - 10.1007/978-1-0716-3226-0_19 [doi] AB - Chromosome painting (CP) refers to visualization of large chromosome regions, chromosome arms or entire chromosomes via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of chromosome-specific DNA sequences. For CP in crucifers (Brassicaceae), typically contigs of chromosome-specific bacterial artificial chromosomes (BAC) from Arabidopsis thaliana are applied as painting probes on chromosomes of A. thaliana or other species (comparative chromosome painting, CCP). CP/CCP enables to identify and trace particular chromosome regions and/or chromosomes throughout all mitotic and meiotic stages as well as corresponding interphase chromosome territories. However, extended pachytene chromosomes provide the highest resolution of CP/CCP. Fine-scale chromosome structure, structural chromosome rearrangements (such as inversions, translocations, centromere repositioning), and chromosome breakpoints can be investigated by CP/CCP. BAC DNA probes can be accompanied by other types of DNA probes, such as repetitive DNA, genomic DNA, or synthetic oligonucleotide probes. Here, we describe a robust step-by-step protocol of CP and CCP which proved to be efficient across the family Brassicaceae, but which is also applicable to other angiosperm families. CI - (c) 2023.
