Figure 5From: Disruption and pseudoautosomal localization of the major histocompatibility complex in monotremesChromosomal localization of MHC genes in platypus and echidna. (a) Platypus BAC clones 466a15 (green) and 462c1 (red) hybridized to male platypus metaphase spreads. Signals were identified on the pseudoautosomal regions of chromosomes Y4X5 and Y3X3. (b) FISH mapping of echidna BAC clones 287o10 (green) and clone 268a21 (red) on male echidna metaphase spreads. Signals were detected on the pseudoautosomal regions of Y3X3 and Y4X4.Back to article page
