Abstract

A method of identifying the presence of a known target sequence in double-stranded DNA contained in a fixed cellular or subcellular biological structure. By adding a stable, reporter-labeled RecA/single-stranded probe complex to the structure, the target sequence can be effectively labeled by in situ hybridization, allowing the target sequence to be visualized histologically and microscopically or detected by in situ cytometry or cell sorting flow techniques.
