BAC RP23-201H14 was kindly provided by Dr. Cornelis Murre (University of California at San Diego). Position-specific 10-kb probes were generated by PCR using BAC templates with the primers listed in Supplemental Table 5 or described in Guo et al. (2011a (link)). FISH with 10-kb probes were performed as described in Guo et al. (2011a (link)) using a Nikon T200 microscope equipped with a 100× lens and motorized 100-μm Piezo Z-stage (Applied Scientific Instrumentation). Depending on the size of the nucleus, 30–40 serial optical sections spaced by 0.2 μm were acquired. The data sets were deconvolved using NIS-Elements software (Nikon). Volumes were measured using NIS-Elements software (Nikon). Statistical analyses of spatial distance measurements were carried out using a two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test in R (Massey 1951 ).
