Descriptor pintado cromosómico
Entry term(s) hibridación cromosómica
Scope note: Técnica para visualizar ABERRACIONES CROMOSOMICAS que emplea sondas de ADN marcadas fluorescentemente, las cuales se hibridan al ADN cromosómico. Múltiples fluorocromos pueden fijarse a las sondas. Tras la hibridación, se produce un efecto multicoloreado o pintado, con un sólo color en cada sitio de hibridación. Esta técnica puede emplearse también para identificar homologías de especies cruzadas marcando las sondas de una especie para la hibridación con cromosomas de otra especie.

Scope note: A technique for visualizing CHROMOSOME ABERRATIONS using fluorescently labeled DNA probes which are hybridized to chromosomal DNA. Multiple fluorochromes may be attached to the probes. Upon hybridization, this produces a multicolored, or painted, effect with a unique color at each site of hybridization. This technique may also be used to identify cross-species homology by labeling probes from one species for hybridization with chromosomes from another species.
