The application of human band specific probe (HSA11p15) to identify a corresponding region in the porcine genome.
The aim of this study was to analyse homology in the telomeric region of chromosome 11 in humans and a corresponding fragment in the porcine genome using the FISH technique. The human band specific probe (HSA 11p15) was used for hybridization with pig chromosomes. The obtained results showed strong signals on human chromosome 11p15, as well as pig chromosome 2p17. Some aspects of the similarity between the human and pig chromosome segments have been discussed.
