We describe a versatile method for performing fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in suspension instead of on a slide as usually done. This so-called suspension-FISH (S-FISH) opens new possibilities for the analysis of shape and functions of the human interphase nucleus. The procedure is described and the first results using this approach are presented.

The sites of specific DNA sequences can be fluorescently tagged by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Different sequences can be labeled with different fluorochromes so that their arrangement can be studied using epifluorescence microscopy. The distances between points on the same or different chromosomes can be determined easily in a large number of interphase nuclei or metaphase chromosomes. A variety of probe types, ranging from single-copy sequences to highly repeated sequences can be employed. Our work has focussed on the analysis of hybridization patterns in two dimensions using conventional fluorescence microscopy.We have used FISH to study various aspects of genome organization that are difficult to study using other techniques. Examples of these applications will be presented.FISH is now the method of choice for determining the chromosomal location of DNA sequences. DNA sequences can be positioned in the genome with <1:1000 accuracy (to a 3-Mbp region within a 3000-Mbp genome). Through FISH, the cytogenetic, physical and genetic maps of chromosomes can be linked.
