✦ Synopsis

Insertion of foreign DNA into the unique HindIII site of the high copy number plasmid pAT153 reduces but does not completely abolish the resistance of Escherichia coli HB101 cells to tetracycline. Recombinant DNA-containing colonies could then be phenotypically differentiated from non-recombinant ones by their smaller size on nutrient agar plates with ampicillin and tetracycline at a final concentration of 50 and 4 micrograms/ml, respectively. A wide variety of human cytomegalovirus DNA fragments have been found in pAT153 molecules propagated by the ampicillin-resistant tetracycline-sensitive bacteria selected.

## Abstract Colony probe oligonucleotide hybridisation was used for the unambiguous identification of DNA alterations and the determination of distributions and frequencies of forward mutation at the molecular level. To demonstrate the reliability and versatility of this technique, distributions of
