Abstract
Hybridization of rabbit reticulocyte mRNA to banded mouse chromosomes in situ labeled several regions, including the globin loci. Whereas the labeling was sufficient to detect unknowns in the globin size class, the chromosome assignments would be doubtful without some means of removing trace contaminants from the probe or of recognizing chromosomal regions to which they hybridize. Mammalian gene mapping by means of hybridization in situ might be feasible with probes cloned in microbial host-vector systems or with kinetic analysis of the hybridization process at every labeled site.
