Cytogenetic localization of DNA sequences with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)
(A) FISH produces a fluorescent signal (red) at the sites of a specific DNA sequence; in this case, a 150-kb segment of chromosome 1. (B) Several probes, each corresponding to a defined genomic segment, can be simultaneously analyzed and ordered with respect to each other using multicolor FISH.
