About this work
Description
Human chromosomes at metaphase highlighted by
fluorescent probes that bind to specific sequences
of DNA. Centromere specific probes have been used
to determine the break-points in a translocation
between the X chromosomes and chromosome 13
(t(x;13). The X signal is red and 13 and 21
centromeres are green. This result shows that the
break-point in the long arm of the X is q11.
