| pubmed-article:10841048 | pubmed:abstractText | Major and 5S ribosomal genes have been localized in the chromosomes of Micropterus salmoides. By C-banding, Ag-staining, CMA3-staining and 45S and 5S fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH), we demonstrate that the 45S and 5S ribosomal genes are clustered in two different chromosome pairs and both are located in heterochromatic GC-rich regions. PCR amplification and sequencing of the 5S intergenic non-transcribed sequences have allowed us to identify variability essentially due to a trinucleotide tandem repeat (GCT). | lld:pubmed |
