Chromosomal localization of echidna MHC BAC clones in male meiotic metaphase I preparations

BAC 48g5 (green) on Y3X3. DAPI inverted picture. The elements of the chain are indicated by the bold lines; the elements containing MHC genes are shown in green. Hybridization of BAC 268a21 on the meiotic chain. Chromosome telomeres are highlighted by hybridization of a telomere repeat (red). In DAPI inverted picture. The elements at the end of the chain are indicated by the bold lines.Copyright information:Taken from "Disruption and pseudoautosomal localization of the major histocompatibility complex in monotremes"http://genomebiology.com/2007/8/8/R175Genome Biology 2007;8(8):R175-R175.Published online 29 Aug 2007PMCID:PMC2375005.
