Syntenic groups between human chromosome 9 and Indian muntjac chromosomes revealed by ZOO-FISH.
The recent techniques of chromosome painting allow the molecular comparison of chromosomes from distantly related mammals. Here we show a modified ZOO-FISH technique based on lower stringency which allows to identify syntenic regions between human and Indian muntjac chromosomes. While when probing with human chromosome 2, no consistent cluster of hybridization were observed, with human chromosome 9, a number of discrete fluorescent regions along the Indian muntjac chromosomes were found.
