In swine, distinct centromeric satellite DNA families have been described that correspond to either all the metacentric chromosomes except the Y (Mc1) or all the acrocentric chromosomes (Ac2). Using primed in situ (PRINS) labeling, we show here that primers derived from various sequences specifically label the centromeres of different subgroups of chromosomes. Among five primers derived from centromeric sequences of acrocentric chromosomes reported to be very homogeneous, four recognize all the acrocentric chromosomes, whereas one labels prominently chromosome 17. For the metacentric chromosomes, six primers have been derived from several divergent sequences. Among these primers, two recognize all the metacentric chromosomes except 5, 10, and 12. Three other primers label small subsets of metacentric chromosomes, including the X and one or two additional chromosomes. The last primer is specific to chromosome 1. These preliminary results suggest that it should be possible to define specific primers for almost every swine chromosome. Already, some of the primers reported here permit a distinction between swine chromosomes difficult to differentiate without banding, such as the X chromosome and chromosome 9. Therefore, the PRINS technique using centromeric motifs constitutes an additional tool for cytogenetic studies in swine.
