Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique enables the direct detection of DNA sequences inintact cellular materials (e.g. individual chromosomes in metaphase spreads). This review article focuses on theapplications of FISH in genome research, including validation and correction of the genome assembly from thenext-generation sequencing (NGS) projects. DNA probes for specific DNA fragments of the assembly can beobtained from PCR amplicon or cloned products using different vector systems. Localization of these probeson their respective chromosomal regions can be visualized by FISH, providing useful information to crosscheckthe assembly data. Furthermore, the recent refinements in the FISH technology including using smartpooling scheme of differently colored DNA probes, together with consecutive FISH experiments (stripping andreprobing of the same slide) are described. These advances in multicolor FISH can provide crucial linkageinformation on association of linkage groups and assembly scaffolds, resulting in so-called cytogenetic maps.Integration of the cytogenetic maps and assembly sequences assists to resolve the chromosome-level genomeassembly and to reveal new insights in genome architecture and genome evolution. Especially, comparativechromosome painting with pooled DNA probes from one reference species can be used to investigate ancestralrelationships (chromosome homeology and rearrangements) among other not-yet-sequenced species. Inaddition, FISH using DNA probes for certain specific classes of repetitive DNA elements as well as for basicchromosome structures (e.g. centromere or telomere DNA repeats, ribosomal DNA loci) can be used to studythe genome organization and karyotype differentiation. We also discussed about limitations and futureperspectives of the FISH technology.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with multiple probes, consisting of highly repeated DNA sequences (pSc119.2 and pAs1) and of a low-copy, 3BS-specific RFLP sequence (PSR907), enabled determination of the physical position of the wheat-alien breakpoints (BPs) along the 3BS and 3DS arms of common wheat recombinant lines. These lines harbour 3SlS Aegilops longissima segments containing the powdery mildew resistance gene Pm13. In all 3B recombinants, the wheat-Aegilops longissima physical BPs lie within the interval separating the two most distal of the three pSc119.2 3BS sites. In all such recombinants a telomeric segment, containing the most distal of the pSc119.2 3BS sites, was in fact replaced by a homoeologous Ae. longissima segment, marked by characteristic pSc119.2 hybridization sites. Employment of the PSR907 RFLP probe as a FISH marker allowed to resolve further the critical region in the various 3B recombinant lines. Three of them, like the control common wheat, exhibited between the two most distal pSc119.2 sites a single PSR907 FISH site, which was missing in a fourth recombinant line. The amount of alien chromatin can thus be estimated to represent around 20% of the recombinant arm in the three former lines and a maximum of 27% in the latter. A similar physical length was calculated for the alien segment contained in three 3D recombinants, all characterized by the presence of the Ae. longissima pSc119.2 sites distal to the nearly telomeric pAs1 sites of normal 3DS. Comparison between the FISH-based maps and previously developed RFLP maps of the 3BS-3SlS and 3DS-3SlS arms revealed substantial differences between physical and genetic map positions of the wheat-alien BPs and of molecular markers associated with the critical chromosomal portions.Key words: wheat-alien recombinants, chromosome engineering, fluorescence in situ hybridization, highly repeated and low-copy DNA probes, physical versus genetic maps.

Using the Aegilops tauschii clone pAs1 together with the barley clone pHvG38 for two-colour fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) the entire chromosome complement of hexaploid wheat was identified. The combination of the two probes allowed easy discrimination of the three genomes of wheat. The banding pattern obtained with the pHvG38 probe containing the GAA-satellite sequence was identical to the N-banding pattern of wheat. A detailed idiogram was constructed, including 73 GAA bands and 48 pAs1 bands. Identification of the wheat chromosomes by FISH will be particularly useful in connection with the physical mapping of other DNA sequences to chromosomes, or for chromosome identification in general, as an alternative to C-banding.Key words: Triticum aestivum, chromosome identification, fluorescence in situ hybridization, repetitive DNA sequences.

The Individual

The molecular characterization of heterochromatin in six lines of rye has been performed using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The highly repetitive rye DNA sequences pSc 119.2, pSc74, and pSc34, and the probes pTa71 and pSc794 containing the 25S–5.8S–18S rDNA (NOR) and the 5S rDNA multigene families, respectively, were used. This allowed the individual identification of all seven rye chromosomes and most chromosome arms in all lines. All varieties showed similar but not identical patterns. A standard in situ hybridization map was constructed following the nomenclature system recommended for C-bands. All FISH sites observed appeared to correspond well with C-band locations, but not all C-banding sites coincided with hybridization sites of the repetitive DNA probes used. Quantitative and qualitative differences between different varieties were found for in situ hybridization response at corresponding sites. Variation between plants and even between homologous chromosomes of the same plant was found in open-pollinated lines. In inbred lines, the in situ pattern of the homologues was practically identical and no variation between plants was detected. The observed quantitative and qualitative differences are consistent with a corresponding variation for C-bands detected both within and between cultivars.Key words: fluorescence in situ hybridization, repetitive DNA, rye, Secale cereale, polymorphism.
