Identification of centromere DNA in chicken. Using DNAs precipitated with CENPA, FISH analysis were performed. Probes are indicated in each panel. FISH signals are shown in red. Centromeres are stained with anti-CENPT antibodies (green). CenDNAs of chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 11 are identified. These sequences are chromosome-specific. The clone containing CNM repeats hybridized with microchromosomes and chromosomes 6 and 9.
