Figure 5

FISH with digoxigenin-labeled transposable elements and biotin-labeled telomeric sequences in cells of Akodontini. ACU: Akodon cursor; AMO: A. montensis; NLA: Necromys lasiurus; L1: LINE-1; B1: B1 SINE; M: mysTR, T: telomere sequence. The cells of AMO depicted are of a female and the sex chromosomes of a male are shown in the inset. Bar = 10 μm.
