β¦ Synopsis
Recombinant lambda bacteriophage clone H3 containing a human DNA segment of 14.9 kb present in one or two copies per haploid genome was isolated. In situ hybridization to human metaphase chromosomes of the 3H-labeled cloned DNA resulted in highly significant labeling (53% of cells) of band p36 of chromosome 1, such that 22% of all chromosomal grains were located on this region. Hybridization was dependent upon the presence of dextran sulfate in the hybridization mixture and was not affected by repetitive DNA competitor. These results demonstrate localization of a single copy sequence on human metaphase chromosomes.

Recombinant plasmid clone B74 (also named D18S3) containing a human single-copy DNA segment of 6 kilobases (kb) was localized by in situ hybridization on band pl13 of chromosome 18. This probe was then used in cytogenetic diagnosis to identify precisely a small supernumerary chromosome as an isochro
