(a) Astyanax scabripinnis pachytene elements subjected to double FISH with 18S ribosomal DNA probe (green) and those of the As51 repetitive sequence (red). These sequences are interspaced, showing syntenic and syntopic location, and present highlighted broad B chromosome distribution. The total length of each element is expressed in μm. (b) Detail of the extended chromatin fiber subjected to double FISH showing the syntenic and syntopic colocation of 18S and As51 sequences. Bar = 10 μm.
