Background: A flow cytometry-based, ultrasensitive fluorescence detection technique has been developed that demonstrates unique advantages in the analysis of large DNA fragments over the currently most widely used technology, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). The technique described herein is

Background: A flow cytometric measurement (FCM) technique has been developed to size DNA fragments. Individual fragments of a restriction digest of genomic DNA, stained with an intercalating dye, are passed through an ultrasensitive cytometer. The measured fluorescence intensity from each fragment i
Apoptosis is a form of cell death that plays an important role during physiological homeostasis and numerous pathological conditions. Retinitis pigmentosa is a group of retinal degenerative disorders in which rod photoreceptors excessively die via apoptosis. Current analytical tools for the investig
Cell division cycle (cdc) mutants of Schizosaccharomyces pombe are arrested at specific points in the cell cycle when grown at restrictive temperature. Flow cytometry of such cells reveals an anomalous increase in the DNA fluorescence signal, which represents a problem in experiments designed to det
