Abstract
Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) is a powerful technology for studying the chromosome organization and aberrations as well as for searching the homology between chromosomal regions in mammals. Currently, FISH is used as a simple, rapid, and reliable technique for analyzing chromosomal rearrangements and assigning chromosomal breakpoints in modern diagnosing of chromosomal pathology. In addition to cloned DNA fragments, the DNA probes produced by sequence-independent polymerase chain reaction are widely used in FISH assays. As a rule, the DNA probes generated from a genomic or chromosomal DNA by whole genome amplification are enriched for repetitive elements and, consequently, efficient FISH analysis requires that repetitive DNA hybridization is suppressed. The linker-adapter polymerase chain reaction (LA-PCR) using the genomic DNA hydrolyzed with HaeIII and RsaI restriction endonucleases allows the repetitive DNA fraction in DNA probe to be decreased and gene-rich DNA to be predominantly amplified. The protocol described here was proposed for production of the DNA probes for enhanced analysis of the C-negative regions in human chromosomes.
