Figure 3

FISH mapping of 5S rDNA and linker histone genes to release chromatin of Mytilus. Double color FISH experiments using 5S rDNA (red) and H1L linker histone gene (green) probes give patterns of alternant red and green signals on the DAPI-stained chromatin fibers of M. edulis (MED, a), M. galloprovincialis (MGA, c), M. trossulus (MTR, e) and M. californianus (MCA, g). 5S rDNA clusters devoid of h1 signals are also present. The pattern of alternant red and green signals, easier to detect on enlarged, unstained chromatin fibers (b , d , f , h), indicates interspersion of 5S rRNA and linker histone genes. Scale bars, 5 μm.
