Dna-Sequence Mapping Using Electron-Microscopy
Genetic analysis, techniques and applications(1991)
Abstract
DNA sequences can be mapped on chromosomes at high resolution in the electron microscope after hybridization with a nonisotopically labeled probe followed by detection with a two-step antibody reaction employing a colloidal gold tag. Hybridization probes can be modified with biotin-dUTP, digoxigenin-dUTP, dinitrophenyl-dUTP, or N-acetoxy-2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF). The availability of different sizes of colloidal gold particles permits the simultaneous detection of several sequences. In addition, low signals can be amplified either with an antibody sandwich scheme or by silver intensification. This technology is applicable both to TEM and SEM preparations of chromosomes, and we have used it to map a number of highly and moderately repeated sequences on whole mount metaphase chromosomes.
