The goal of this method is to identify transcriptionally active genes in cloned segments of genomic DNA. The protocol uses hybridization and affinity purification to recover biotin-labeled cDNAs that bind to a 500-kb segment of human DNA cloned in a BAC vector. However, the method can be easily adapted to other clones of genomic DNAs cloned in high-capacity vectors. - [Read Direct Selection of cDNAs with Large Genomic DNA Clones Protocol]
Protocol describes here a high sensitivity indirect detection procedure for DIG-labeled hybridization probes. The procedure uses the components of the HNPP Fluorescent Detection Set to form a fluorescent precipitate of HNPP (2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid-2’-phenylanilide phosphate) and Fast Red TR at the site of hybridization. Includes: In situ hybridization with DIG-labeled probes; Detection of DIG-labeled probes; Fluorescence microscopy. - [Read DNA In Situ Hybridization with an Alkaline Phosphatase-Based Fluorescent Detection System]
Protocol describes a high sensitivity indirect detection procedure for DIG-labeled hybridization probes. The procedure uses the components of the HNPP Fluorescent Detection Set to form a fluorescent precipitate of HNPP (2-hydroxy-3-naphthoic acid-2’-phenylanilide phosphate) and Fast Red TR at the site of hybridization. This procedure can be used to detect single copy sequences as small as 1 kb on human metaphase chromosomes. - [Read DNA In Situ Hybridization with an Alkaline Phosphatase-Based Fluorescent Detection System Protocol]
Protocol for dot and slot hybridization of purified RNA. Dot blotting of RNA is best carried out using purified preparations of RNA that are denatured with glyoxal or formaldehyde immediately before loading onto a nylon membrane through a vacuum manifold. - [Read Dot and Slot Hybridization of Purified RNA Protocol]

Protocol for fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for DNA replication origins. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) is a molecular cytogenetic technique used for the detection of specific chromosomal rearrangements and applicable to many different specimen types. FISH is widely used for several diagnostic applications. - [Read Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) for DNA Replication Origins Protocol]
Protocol for fluorescence in situ hybridization of a repetitive DNA probe to human chromosomes in suspension. Hybridization technique which does not need formamide and dextran sulfate. As a model system, we used the repetitive
specific human DNA probe pUC 1.77, labeled it with digoxigenin-11-dUTP by nick-translation, and hybridized it to
metaphase chromosomes in suspension. These chromosomes were isolated by standard techniques from human lymphocytes. - [Read Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization of a Repetitive DNA Probe to Human Chromosomes in Suspension]

Protocol describes the direct detection of RNA on DNA microarrays using Hybrid Capture (HC) technology and the HC ExpressArray Kit developed by Diagene. The kit uses a proprietary antibody that binds specifically to RNA:DNA hybrids and a second, fluorescently labeled, antibody that detects the primary antibody. Total RNA is applied directly to a glass-spotted DNA microarray, and stable RNA:DNA hybrids are visualized via a Cy3-labeled secondary antibody. - [Read Hybridization and Detection Using the HC ExpressArray Kit Protocol]
Using hybridization, it is possible to identify a single recombinant that carries the desired target sequence on a filter that carries the imprint of 15,000 or more plaques. - [Read Hybridization of Bacteriophage DNA on Filters Protocol]
Hybridization is carried out in conventional aqueous solvents at a temperature well below the predicted melting temperature. Nonspecific hybrids are then removed by washing at high stringency in buffers containing quaternary salts. Tetramethylammonium chloride (TMACl) is used with probes that are 14-50 nucleotides in length, whereas tetraethylammonium chloride (TEACl) is used with longer oligonucleotides. - [Read Hybridization of Oligonucleotide Probes in Aqueous Solutions Protocol]
DNA microarrays are an ordered arrangement of DNA molecules complementary to genes of interest that are "spotted" by robotic equipment onto a glass slide substrate. The expression of genes in cells can be monitored with microarrays by preparing cDNA from the mRNA of cells of interest and measuring the hybridization to the microarray. This protocol describes the labeling of genomic DNA for use as a probe for hybridization to the cDNA spotted on the array.
This Microarray Protocol Preparation of Fluorescent DNA Probes from Human mRNA protocol describes the production of probes labeled with the fluorescent dyes, Cy3 and Cy5, following the synthesis of cDNA from human mRNA and the hybridization of the probes to DNA microarrays.
