  • FISH results, on marmoset metaphases, of a panel of 25 almost-overlapping human BAC clones. (nor) Normal FISH signal; (ns) no signal; (MHC) Major histocompatibility complex. Many probes map to CJA4ptel (telomeric region of the CJA4 short arm) because of the inversion of this arm in marmoset (for details, see text and Fig. 4B).
