Analysis of replication timing of ribosomal RNA genes by fluorescence in situ hybridization. 1997

Fluorescence in situ hybridization has been used to study the replication timing of various repeat DNA families in the short arms of human acrocentric chromosomes. In interphase nuclei, unreplicated DNA segments show singlet hybridization signals whereas replicated loci have doublet signals. The distribution of these two patterns in unsynchronized cell cultures revealed that the rRNA gene clusters replicate earlier than the closely juxtaposed alpha- and beta-satellite DNA sequences. Within the rDNA repeat unit, replication of the intergenic spacer appears to precede that of the transcribed rDNA.

D012335 RNA, Ribosomal The most abundant form of RNA. Together with proteins, it forms the ribosomes, playing a structural role and also a role in ribosomal binding of mRNA and tRNAs. Individual chains are conventionally designated by their sedimentation coefficients. In eukaryotes, four large chains exist, synthesized in the nucleolus and constituting about 50% of the ribosome.

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.
