Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of a 205 kb Sorghum bicolor bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) containing a sequence complementary to maize sh2 cDNA produced a large pair of FISH signals at one end of a midsize metacentric chromosome of S. bicolor. Three pairs of signals were observed in metaphase spreads of chromosomes of a sorghum plant containing an extra copy of one arm of the sorghum chromosome arbitrarily designated with the letter D. Therefore, the sequence cloned in this BAC must reside in the arm of chromosome D represented by this monotelosome. This demonstrates a novel procedure for physically mapping cloned genes or other single-copy sequences by FISH, sh2 in this case, by using BACs containing their complementary sequences. The results reported herein suggest homology, at least in part, between one arm of chromosome D in sorghum and the long arm of chromosome 3 in maize.Key words: sorghum, maize, shrunken locus, physical mapping, fluorescence in situ hybridization, bacterial artificial chromosomes.

Myc Gene

Translocations involving chromosome 8 at band q24 and one of the Ig loci on chromosomes 14q32, 22q11, and 2p11 are the hallmark of Burkitt's lymphoma (BL). It has been previously observed that the exact localization of the breakpoints at chromosome 8q24 can vary significantly from patient to patient, scattering over a distance of more than 300 kb upstream of c-myc and about 300 kb downstream of c-myc. To generate probes for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) that detect most c-myc translocations, we screened a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) library from normal human lymphocytes by colony hybridization, using three markers surrounding the c-myc gene as probes. We obtained 10 YAC clones ranging in size between 500 and 200 kb. Two nonchimeric clones were used for FISH on several BL cell lines and patient samples with different breakpoints at 8q24. Our results show that the YAC clones detected translocations scattered along approximately 200 kb in both metaphase chromosomes and interphase nuclei. The sensitivity, rapidity, and feasibility in nondividing cells render FISH an important diagnostic tool. Furthermore, the use of large DNA fragments such as YACs greatly simplifies the detection of translocations with widely scattered breakpoints such as these seen in BL.

Rdna Sequences

The physical locations of the 18S-5.8S-26S rDNA sequences were examined in three sorghum species by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using biotin-labeled heterologous 18S-5.8S-26S rDNA probe (pTa71). Each 18S-5.8S-26S rDNA locus occurred at two sites on the chromosomes in Sorghum bicolor (2n = 20) and S. versicolor (2n = 10), but at four sites on the chromosomes of S. halepense (2n = 40) and the tetraploid S. versicolor (2n = 20). Positions of the rDNA loci varied from the interstitial to terminal position among the four accessions of the three sorghum species. The rDNA data are useful for investigation of chromosome evolution and phylogeny. This study excluded S. versicolor as the possible progenitor of S. bicolor.Key words: Sorghum bicolor, Sorghum versicolor, Sorghum halepense, 18S-5.8S-26S rDNA, fluorescence in situ hybridization.
