Fluorescence in situ hybridization was used to identify patterns of DNA similarity among the genomes of several rodent taxa. Total genomic or Cot-1 DNAs were used as hybridization probes against metaphase preparations across different taxonomic levels, including three species of Microtus (suborder Sciurognathi), three species of Microtus (suborder Sciurognathi), Mus musculus (suborder Sciurognathi) and Ctenomys steinbachi (suborder Hystricognathi). The hybridization patterns of Mus or Peromyscus (sciurognath) DNA to Mus metaphases, which were consistent with what is known of the satellite sequences in these species, demonstrated the efficacy of this approach for molecular cytogenetics and evolutionary biology. Additional hybridizations to chromosomes of Ctenomys or Microtus identified loci consisting of highly conserved DNA sequences. This approach has proved useful in investigating genome homologies across divergent rodent lineages. Chromosome microdissection can be used to characterize these regions further.
