Fig. 5From: The Nix locus on the male-specific homologue of chromosome 1 in Aedes albopictus is a strong candidate for a male-determining factorFluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to mitotic chromosomes using a Nix fragment as probe (a) and a 18S rDNA fragment as probe (b). The three pairs of chromosomes are less evident in these images due to somatic pairing [63]. The asterisk indicates the position of the DAPI-negative band on one homologue of chromosome 1.
