Summary

Automatic Translation

Staining DNA molecules for fluorescence microscopy allows a scientist to view them during an experiment. In the method presented here, DNA molecules are pre-stained with fluorescent dyes and digested with methylation and non-methylation sensitive restriction enzymes.
