There are excellent methods available for separating superhelical DNA (covalently closed rings) from a mixture of open circular DNA (rings with one or more single-strand interruptions) and linear DNA (1,2). The separation of open circular DNA from linear DNA presents a more difficult problem. While

โฆ Synopsis
A fast and simple procedure for the hybridization of radioactive probes directly to DNA in agarose gels is described. Restriction endonuclease-digested DNA is fractionated by electrophoresis in agarose gel. After drying, the DNA in the gel is denatured with alkali and annealed with a radioactive probe, and the hybridization pattern visualized by autoradiography. This method is sensitive enough to detect single or low copy number DNA sequences in the genome of higher eucaryotes.
