The efficiency of fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) for detecting chromosomal abnormalities in in vitro-fertilized (IVF) bovine embryos as early as the 2-cell stage was investigated. Three different cloned probes were used, 2 derived from a unique sequence specific to the subtelomeric (D1S48) or subcentromeric regions (19C10) of chromosome 1 and the 3rd (H1A clone) derived from a repetitive sequence that hybridizes to the subcentromeric regions of 3 other chromosomes (14, 20 and 25).
