The method of hybridization was used to study the presence of the transcribed sequences in PDN subfractions. As a component of mononucleosomes possessing a high electrophoretic motility DNA was enriched with the diverse unique transcribed siquences. It was shown that during the postirradiation degradation of the chromatin the mononucleosome fragments of PDN were mainly formed from the genome sites active in transcription whereas the high molecular weight fragments contained its repressed sequences.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.
