LFoigcualrizeat3ion of newly identified tandem repeats on pea metaphase chromosomes using FISH Localization of newly identified tandem repeats on pea metaphase chromosomes using FISH. Red signals show chromosomal localization of the tandem repeats TR-9 (A), TR-11 (B), TR-3 (C), and telomere-like sequences (TTTAGG)n (D), and (TTAGG)n (E). Preparations on panels A-C were simultaneously hybridized to PisTR-B probe (green) to discriminate individ- ual chromosome types [20]. Chromosomes were counterstained with DAPI (blue).
