Fish (Ichthus) as an Ancient Christian Symbol -- Early Christian Symbols of the Ancient Church
Fish (Ichthus) as an Early Christian Symbol by Dr.
Wilson Print this Page New free online Bible study on Hebrews begins soon The fish symbol is an ancient one in Christianity, representing both Jesus and his followers.
Jesus had told Peter, "I will make you fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19).
But the fish through an acrostic also became a symbol of Jesus himself.
Two fish and anchor in the catacomb of Domitilla in Rome.
Notice the presence of another important early church symbol -- the anchor -- located between the two fish.
Anchor , fish, and Chi-Rho symbols from the Catacombs of St.
Bread and Fish , Cubicle of the Sheep, Catacomb of Saint Callixtus, Rome, Italy.
In another place this is identified as "Eucharistic fish" with the basket of bread and glass of red wine (Crypts of Lucina, cubiculum Y, beginning of the third century).
Mosaics of Fish Mosaic of Fish , unknown location.
Mosaic of fish in the floor of Westminster Cathedral, UK.

The ruins are believed to date back to the third or fourth century and include references to Jesus and images of fish.

Application of ROMA (representational oligonucleotide microarray analysis) to patients with cytogenetic rearrangements.
PURPOSE: To demonstrate the accuracy and sensitivity of Representational Oligonucleotide Microarray Analysis (ROMA) to describe copy number changes in patients with chromosomal abnormalities.
METHODS: ROMA was performed using BglII digested DNA from two cases with cytogenetically detected deletions and one case with an unbalanced terminal rearrangement detected only by subtelomeric FISH.
FISH was used to confirm some of the ROMA findings.
RESULTS: By ROMA, a del(13)(q14.3q21.2) was shown to be noncontiguous, with deletions extending from 53.08 to 61.40 Mb and from 72.88 to 74.83 Mb.
FISH confirmed the noncontiguous nature of the deletion, as well as a small amplification in 6q that was also found in the patient's mother.
A del(4)(q12q21.2) was found by ROMA to be 23 Mb in length, from 58.8 to 81.9 Mb on chromosome 4, in agreement with the cytogenetically assigned breakpoints.
ROMA showed that an unbalanced "subtelomeric" rearrangement involved a 6-Mb deletion of 22q and an 8-Mb duplication of 16q.
CONCLUSIONS: ROMA can define cytogenetic aberrations with extraordinary precision.

Phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated neurofilament epitopes are co-distributed in the fish Mauthner axon.
Department of Animal and Human Biology, University of Rome La Sapienza, Roma, Italy..
The neurofilament (NF) polypeptides of the fish giant Mauthner cell axons (MAs) and their degree of phosphorylation were investigated in the adult by means of immunoblot and immunohistochemical staining.
Fasciculus longitudinalis medialis (FLM) axons of much smaller caliber, among which MAs run in the ventral spinal cord, were also analyzed in two teleost fish belonging to continuously growing species.
Liev Schreiber as Ricky Roma, Sales Management Article - Inc. Article
staff writer Patrick Sauer talks with Liev Schreiber about his role as Ricky Roma in Glengarry Glen Ross set to open on Broadway on May 1, 2005..
I never thought I'd get the chance to play Ricky Roma.
Q: What is your approach to playing Roma considering he's the only one who is on top at the beginning and on top at the end? Schreiber: All of Roma's action is defined by the specificity of Mamet's language.
Roma throws a lot of lines out there and with that many lines, he's bound to hook a fish.
