PG - 475-80 AB - The analysis of major satellite sequence differences between Mus spretus and laboratory mice provides a robust method for analyzing the centromere location for the genetic maps of each mouse chromosome. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of a genomic probe, pMR196, for the laboratory mouse major satellite sequences was used to identify C57BL/6Ros (B6) pericentromeric heterochromatin in progeny of reciprocal backcross matings. These included 80 (B6 x M. spretus)F1 x M. spretus progeny (BSS) and 70 (B6 x M. spretus)F1 x B6 (BSB) progeny. FISH analysis of pericentromeric heterochromatin was conducted on the same metaphase spreads that were karyotypically analyzed for chromosome-specific banding patterns. Analysis of chromosomal segregation suggested that there was not primary deviation from random assortment during meiosis in the interspecific hybrid female, because nearly all of the 190 pair-wise comparisons did not deviate from expected and because there was no consistent pattern of deviation of the same chromosomes in the reciprocal backcross progeny from similar (C57BL/6 x M. spretus)F1 hybrid females. These results affirm the value of using the major satellite to genetically mark pericentromeric heterochromatin in the analysis of the segregation and assortment of centromeres in Mus interspecific crosses.
