The art of painting chromosome loops
How to get a metre of DNA into a tiny space while preserving its functional characteristics? This question seems easy to pose, but the answer is far from being trivial.

Chromosome Painting of Mouse Chromosomes. [PDF]
Chromosome painting enables the visualization of chromosomes and has been used extensively in cytogenetics. Chromosome paint probes, which consist of a pooled composite of DNA-FISH probes, bind to nonrepetitive sequences for individual chromosomes [1, 2].

Chromosome painting and its applications in cultivated and wild rice [PDF]
Background The chromosome-specific probe is a fundamental tool of chromosome painting and has been commonly applied in mammalian species. The technology, however, has not been widely applied in plants due to a lack of methodologies for probe development.

Whole chromosome painting in two populations of the weakly electric fish Gymnotus mamiraua (Teleostei, Gymnotiformes) [PDF]
Techniques such as whole chromosome painting (WCP) have effectively expanded our understanding of the evolution and organization of the genome in fish, allowing us to obtain more detailed information about several evolutionary questions.

Chromosomal painting of the sandpiper (Actitis macularius) detects several fissions for the Scolopacidae family (Charadriiformes) [PDF]
Background The Scolopacidae family (Suborder Scolopaci, Charadriiformes) is composed of sandpipers and snipes; these birds are long-distance migrants that show great diversity in their behavior and habitat use.

Chromosomal rearrangements in cattle and pigs revealed by chromosome microdissection and chromosome painting [PDF]
A pericentric inversion of chromosome 4 in a boar, as well as a case of (2q-;5p+) translocation mosaicism in a bull were analysed by chromosome painting using probes generated by conventional microdissection.

Chromosome painting and phylogenetic analysis suggest that the genus Lophostoma (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae) is paraphyletic [PDF]
The subfamily Phyllostominae (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae) comprises 10 genera of Microchiroptera bats from the Neotropics. The taxonomy of this group is controversial due to incongruities in the phylogenetic relationships evident from different datasets.

Identification of the inverted chromosome 16 using chromosome painting [PDF]
The inverted chromosome 16 is commonly associated with acute myelomonocytic leukaemia (AML) M4 with bone marrow eosinophilia. Cytogenetic identification of the inverted chromosome 16 can be difficult. To help identify the inversion in bone marrow samples from patients referred for the diagnosis of AML‐M4, we applied the molecular cytogenetic technique ...

Pooling strategy and chromosome painting characterize a living zebroid for the first time. [PDF]
We have investigated the complex karyotype of a living zebra-donkey hybrid for the first time using chromosome-specific painting probes produced from flow-sorted chromosomes from a zebra (Equus burchelli) and horse (Equus caballus).

Quantifying Y chromosome loss in primary and metastatic prostate cancer by chromosome painting [PDF]
Somatic Y chromosome loss in hematopoietic cells is associated with higher mortality in men. However, the status of the Y chromosome in cancer tissue is not fully known due to technical limitations, such as difficulties in labelling and sequencing DNA ...
