Combinatorial labeling of probes (i.e., with two or more different reporters) increases the number of target sequences that can be detected simultaneously by fluorescence in situ hybridization. We have used an epifluorescence microscope equipped with a digital imaging camera and computer software for pseudocoloring and merging images to distinguish up to seven different probes using only three fluorochromes. Chromosome-specific centromere repeat clones and chromosome-specific "composite" probe sets were generated by PCR in which different mixtures of modified nucleotides, including fluorescein-conjugated dUTP, were incorporated. Cosmid clones were labeled similarly by nick-translation. The technique has been used to delineate the centromeres of seven different human chromosomes, on both 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole-stained metaphase spreads and interphase nuclei, to map six cosmid clones in a single hybridization experiment and to detect chromosome translocations by chromosome painting. Multiparameter hybridization analysis should facilitate molecular cytogenetics, probe-based pathogen diagnosis, and gene mapping studies.
