We report intron chromosomal expression FISH (iceFISH), a multiplex imaging method for measuring gene expression and chromosome structure simultaneously on single chromosomes. We find substantial differences in transcriptional frequency between genes on a translocated chromosome and the same genes in their normal chromosomal context in the same cell. Correlations between genes on a single chromosome pointed toward a cis chromosome-level transcriptional interaction spanning 14.3 megabases.
