Abstract.
Human chromosome specific painting probes were hybridized on sheep (Ovis aries, 2n = 54) chromosomes by FISH. The painting results on sequentially stained RBA-banded preparations demonstrated high degree of conserved regions between human and sheep genomes. A total of 48 human chromosome segments were detected in sheep chromosomes. Comparisons with sheep gene mapping data available and previous Zoo-FISH data obtained in sheep, cattle, and river buffalo were performed.
