Abstract
Fifty metaphases were scored. PRINS labeling showed signals for the SRY on the Y chromosome at band Yp11.3 in all metaphases. These signals were as distinct as that from results of FISH. CONCLUSION: This improved method is ideal for rapidly localizing single copy genes and small DNA segments. And PR...
