Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 1429))

Abstract

Fiber FISH is a high-resolution cytogenetic method and a powerful tool of genome analysis to study the localization and the physical organization of markers, genes, and repetitive sequences on a molecular level. Measurement of physical distances between sequences can be performed along extended chromatin fibers with the resolution of up to 1 kb and is applicable to all plant species.
