Abstract
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) provides a rapid means of placing labeled DNA segments into a wider genomic context. Mapping to banded metaphase chromosomes anchors clones for specific genes or markers in a well-recognized framework and provides a useful confirmation that clones belong to the expected region of interest.
