FORMATION AND DETECTION OF RNA-DNA HYBRID MOLECULES IN CYTOLOGICAL PREPARATIONS*
AUTOR(ES)
Gall, Joseph G.
RESUMO
A technique is described for forming molecular hybrids between RNA in solution and the DNA of intact cytological preparations. Cells in a conventional tissue squash are immobilized under a thin layer of agar. Next they are treated with alkali to denature the DNA and then incubated with tritium-labeled RNA. The hybrids are detected by autoradiography. The technique is illustrated by the hybridization of ribosomal RNA to the amplified ribosomal genes in oocytes of the toad Xenopus. A low level of gene amplification was also detected in premeiotic nuclei (oogonia).
