Free DNA was prepared from routinely harvested and fixed cells for high resolution FISH mapping using either a sodium hydroxide/ethanol mixture or 70% formamide. Hybridization signals from cosmid probes appeared as extended lines. The average length of signals on DNA prepared with sodium hydroxide was significantly greater than with formamide. A set of overlapping cosmids from the HLA class II region was used to determine how precisely the actual overlap or gap between probes can be calculated from the measured overlap or gap between their signals. Lengths of the probe signals and their known kilobase lengths were used as an internal ruler. The mean values calculated from the measured length from 30 or more signals for each probe pair showed remarkable conformity with the known kilobase lengths of their overlaps and gaps. Immediately adjacent probes could also be ordered on the released DNA. These simple procedures dramatically increase the speed with which relationships between probes can be determined during contig construction.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002843 Chromatin The material of CHROMOSOMES. It is a complex of DNA; HISTONES; and nonhistone proteins (CHROMOSOMAL PROTEINS, NON-HISTONE) found within the nucleus of a cell. Chromatins
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D015342 DNA Probes Species- or subspecies-specific DNA (including COMPLEMENTARY DNA; conserved genes, whole chromosomes, or whole genomes) used in hybridization studies in order to identify microorganisms, to measure DNA-DNA homologies, to group subspecies, etc. The DNA probe hybridizes with a specific mRNA, if present. Conventional techniques used for testing for the hybridization product include dot blot assays, Southern blot assays, and DNA:RNA hybrid-specific antibody tests. Conventional labels for the DNA probe include the radioisotope labels 32P and 125I and the chemical label biotin. The use of DNA probes provides a specific, sensitive, rapid, and inexpensive replacement for cell culture techniques for diagnosing infections.

D017404 In Situ Hybridization, Fluorescence A type of IN SITU HYBRIDIZATION in which target sequences are stained with fluorescent dye so their location and size can be determined using fluorescence microscopy. This staining is sufficiently distinct that the hybridization signal can be seen both in metaphase spreads and in interphase nuclei.
