We have established a series of highly specific painting probes for human acrocentric chromosomes. These chromosomes are involved in the formation of the nucleolar organizer region (NOR) and show DNA sequence homologies within their pericentric heterochromatin. To date, these chromosomes have shown considerable cross hybridization in chromosome painting experiments. Our probe set has been established from primate homologues that are not involved in the NOR in that particular species or from species in which highly repetitive sequences have undergone rapid sequence divergence. The new painting probes should be of particular value for automated microscopy, for which highly specific signals are required as they are recorded at low magnification, e.g. when scoring chromosome 21 domains in interphase nuclei.
