Mouse chromosome translocations: visualization and analysis by electron microscopy of synaptonemal complex

Journal Article · · Science; (United States)
Pachytene chromosomes of mice heterozygous for known translocations are clearly depicted by configurations of the synaptonemal complexes in spread (whole mount) preparations. In one autosomal and two X-autosome translocations analyzed, breakpoints are identifiable; localization by measurements agrees with mitotic data and shows the translocations to be reciprocal. Synapsis with the Y is inhibited in one translocation in which the breakpoint is in the pairing region of the X.
