Application of dual colour FISH for localisation of canine microsatellite markers in the Chinese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides procyonoides) genome
The present study shows new chromosomal localisation of four canine cosmid clones in the Chinese raccoon dog genome by using dual colour FISH. This approach facilitates rapid physical localisation of markers and will improve the determination of their order on chromosomes. The present new assignments increase the number of physically mapped markers in the Chinese raccoon dog to 25.
