Fig. 4. Chromosome enumeration in interphase nuclei.

Fig. 4

a Schematic overview of the experimental design used to perform chromosome enumeration using Tigerfish probe sets in 46, XY interphase nuclei also labeled with probe sets targeting non-repetitive DNA designed by PaintSHOP. b Representative images of nuclei labeled with Tigerfish probe sets (magenta) and PaintSHOP probe sets (yellow) targeting intervals on chr22 (top row) or chrX (bottom row). c Heatmap displaying the observed distribution of Tigerfish and PaintSHOP puncta per nucleus. The data presented are aggregated over all the 24 chromosomes targeted. Nuclei with >2 puncta most likely contain replicated sister chromatids that have separated. Images are maximum intensity projections in Z. Scale bars, 10 μm. Each staining pattern was visualized in three independent samples and yielded similar results.
