Figure 6From: Disruption and pseudoautosomal localization of the major histocompatibility complex in monotremesChromosomal localization of echidna MHC BAC clones in male meiotic metaphase I preparations. (a) BAC 48g5 (green) on Y3X3. (b) DAPI inverted picture. The elements of the chain are indicated by the bold lines; the elements containing MHC genes are shown in green. (c) Hybridization of BAC 268a21 on the meiotic chain. Chromosome telomeres are highlighted by hybridization of a telomere repeat (red). In (d) DAPI inverted picture. The elements at the end of the chain are indicated by the bold lines.Back to article page
