...Biao Yan; Ban Liu; Chang-Dong Zhu; Kang-Le Li; Li-Jia Yue; Jin-Liang Zhao; Xiao-Ling Gong; Cheng-Hui Wang Summary MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small non-coding RNAs that play crucial roles in numerous biological processes. However, the role of miRNAs in skin color determination in fish has...

... structures with distinct RNA and DNA labelling patterns in the regulatory region, which might be functional to the regulation of mtDNA itself. To assess this point, we performed FISH with three probes located in the D-loop region (probes PL-OH and 7S) and at promoters of the H-strand (P H1 and P H2 ; probe...

... and transfected cell lines. These in vivo integration events provided a system to study the association and integration patterns of each introduced S/MAR. By utilizing FISH to visualize directly the localization of S/MARs on the nuclear matrix or chromatin loop, we were able to assign specific attributes to the S...

.... In fact, FISH labelling of specific chromosomal loci has shown that loci of the same centromeric distance are associated in as many as 24% of nuclei if they are allelic and in slightly less (10%) if they are nonallelic(J.F., Q. Lin, A.L. and J.L., unpublished). Previous studies observed an even higher...

... mutants of rye ( Secale cereale L.) by means of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Homozygotes for sy1 and sy9 non-allelic mutations form axial elements during leptotene of male meiosis, but fail to form synaptonemal complexes. Consequently, recombination is severely impaired, and high univalency...

Large stretches in the central αhelical rod are identical within all four classes of vertebrates, but in 17 residues spread over the entire rod, the two fish differ distinctly from the tetrapod species. In addition, in the more diverged non-helical head domain...
