Abstract

Chromosomal location of the cloned fragment pHS05 of alphoid DNA from the collection of human PstI restricts has been studied in 38 individuals by in situ hybridization. Pericentromeric localization of the DNA fraction studied was found in practically all chromosomes of the set. Significant interchromosomal and poorly expressed interindividual differences were detected in a number of the copies of the sequence class investigated. The majority of the label (approx. 27%) was observed over the pericentromeric region of chromosome 3. No relationship was discovered between hybridization results and the pattern of Q-polymorphism.
