Chromosomal location of 5S rDNA, major rDNA, core histone genes and linker histone genes in Mytilus. Chromosomal mapping of core histone genes, linker histone genes, 5S rDNA and major rDNA in Mytilus edulis (MED; a, b), M. galloprovincialis (MGA; c, d), M.trosulus (MTR; e, f) and M. californianus (MCA; g, h). Double color FISH using 5S rDNA (5S, red) and linker histone gene (H1L + H1C, green) probes followed by a second double color FISH using core histone gene (H3, yellow) and major rDNA (28S, violet) probes on the same metaphase plates allowed simultaneously mapping these four gene families in Mytilus. Chromosomes are arranged in order of decreasing size. Scale bars, 5 μm.
