<i>In situ</i> hybridization with probes pHch950, pTa71 (45S rDNA), pTa794 (5S rDNA), pSc119.2, (AAG)₅, (AAC)₅, and the telomeric (Tel.) probe (CCCTAAA)₃, in three metaphases cells (panels a–b, c–d and e–g, respectively) of the hexaploid <i>H. murinum</i> accession GRA1183.

<p>Each panel shows merged images to facilitate the visualization of the signals with respect to the blue DAPI staining. In <b>a</b>, the arrows point to the 14 chromosomes revealed with pHch950. In <b>c</b>, the arrows and arrowheads point to the 5S rDNA and 45S rDNA minor loci respectively. In <b>d</b>, the arrows point to interstitial telomeric repeats (enlarged in the insets). In <b>e</b>, the arrowheads indicate pTa71 signals derived from previous hybridizations. (<b>g</b>) The four chromosome pairs carrying pSc119.2 signals were chosen from the metaphase shown in <b>e–f</b>. Scale bar = 10 µm.
