New method for visualization of C-heterochromatin in synaptonemal complex spreads
DAPI staining of the metaphase chromosomes pretreated with barium hydroxide generates a C-like banding pattern. In this work a protocol for visualizing similar pattern at the synaptonemal complex (SC) spreads after immunostaining is suggested. This method was used to visualize centromeric and sex heterochromatin at the SC spreads of guppy fish (Poecilia reticulata Peters, 1859). The efficiency ...
متن کاملHeterochromatin, the synaptonemal complex and crossing over.
A combined light- and electron-microscopic examination of chromosomes from two angiospermous plants, Plantago ovata and Lycopersicon esculentum, and a mammal, Mus musculus, was performed. From this investigation three observations have been made that may be relevant to the observed lack of crossing over in heterochromatin. (1) Differential staining indicates that heterochromatin represents a sm...

Data visualization is the process of transforming data, information, and knowledge into visual form, making use of humans’ natural visual capabilities which reveals relationships in data sets that are not evident from the raw data, by using mathematical techniques to reduce the number of dimensions in the data set while preserving the relevant inherent properties. In this paper, we formulated d...
متن کاملLocalization of single- and low-copy sequences on tomato synaptonemal complex spreads using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a powerful means by which single- and low-copy DNA sequences can be localized on chromosomes. Compared to the mitotic metaphase chromosomes that are normally used in FISH, synaptonemal complex (SC) spreads (hypotonically spread pachytene chromosomes) have several advantages. SC spreads (1) are comparatively free of debris that can interfere with prob...
متن کاملEpigenetics of the Synaptonemal Complex
Meiosis is a process composed of two divisions of the germ line cells without an intervenient S phase, thus there is no duplication of DNA between the first and the second meiotic divisions. The first meiotic division begins with the pre-leptotene that is the stage where the DNA replicates and chromosomes prepare to enter the meiotic prophase I in most of the organisms with sexual reproduction ...
