The gene coding for human beta-glucuronidase (GUSB) was mapped to 7q11.21 --> q11.22 by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), thus clarifying the contradictory published localizations of this gene. Multiple unprocessed pseudogenes and pseudogene fragments for GUSB have been described. However, only two weak signals, one at chromosome band 5p13 and the other at 5q13, could be detected with FISH, suggesting considerable divergence between GUSB and its related sequences.

D008297 Male Males
D011544 Pseudogenes Genes bearing close resemblance to known genes at different loci, but rendered non-functional by additions or deletions in structure that prevent normal transcription or translation. When lacking introns and containing a poly-A segment near the downstream end (as a result of reverse copying from processed nuclear RNA into double-stranded DNA), they are called processed genes.

D017404 In Situ Hybridization, Fluorescence A type of IN SITU HYBRIDIZATION in which target sequences are stained with fluorescent dye so their location and size can be determined using fluorescence microscopy. This staining is sufficiently distinct that the hybridization signal can be seen both in metaphase spreads and in interphase nuclei.
