We have used fluorescence in situ hybridization to extended DNA fibers (fiber-FISH) to analyse the alpha-satellite and rDNA arrays on a human chromosome 22. The rDNA could be seen as a string of signals spanning about 430 kb. The bulk of the alphoid DNA was found in a single large array of about 2.6 Mb.
