Chromosomal mapping of the eight TleSatDNAs hybridized on female metaphases of T. leucomelas (TLE ♀F01). The Z and W sex chromosomes are indicated. While the Z chromosome was identified by its distinct morphology (i.e., the only metacentric macrochromosome), the W chromosome was appropriately identified after a sequential hybridization with TleSat06, which provides a unique and distinctive pattern for this chromosome. Bar 10 μm.
