Chromosomal locations of tammar HOX genes by Fluorescence In-Situ Hybridization. Tammar HOX genes were mapped to four different chromosomal loci. BAC DNA was hybridized to metaphase chromosomes from a male donor stained with DAPI (blue). The hybridization signal was indicated with anti-DIG-FITC (bright green). HOX A was on the long arm terminal region of chromosome 3; HOX B was located 2/3 of the distance from the centromere on the long arm of chromosome 2; HOX C was on the middle of long arm at chromosome 3; HOX D was on the middle of long arm at chromosome 5.
